The issue is video streaming platforms like RUclips, ticktock, only fans, twitch, etc. have endless creative content being created daily that is good enough to compete with real television and movies. Writers can’t keep up with the near endless stream of pseudo free content available on the internet.
Netflix broke streaming to the masses and the studios followed suit. So Netflix brought streaming and streaming broke Hollywood. But in a way it's a New Renaissance, the days of the Hollywood system were they control everything and everyone is coming to an end and those people of SAG need to come to grips with this new reality and stop being the victim. These are very talented people who were happy being under the thumb of the studio system getting bread crumbs while ignoring the independent content creators on RUclips, TikTok who became stars in their own right. That's the future. Independent studios not under Hollywoods control have shown how competitive they can be with Blumhouse and Angel Studios being powerhouses in their own right. Oh and just an FYI. RUclips and platforms like this are taking eyes away from other streaming content. I spend a lot of time on RUclips as opposed to paid streaming services, so in a way the Content Wars are the next installment. Great production value btw. You got a new sub.
Did we just watch an advert for adverts? . . . I think we did. Their model will fail, judging by the fact that the success of Netflix wasn’t just about the novelty of streaming from a selection of movies, when they started. It has been about people being willing to pay quite a bit of cash in return for entertainment that doesn’t have adverts. That’s WHAT you’re buying. And there will always be another new service that will pop up, as free being their selling point, to which people will migrate, since their old, once favourite, channel has been ruined by ads.
this was the best documentary ive ever seen. Hope hollywood learns a lesson and gives y'all a way foward, we all want to just be able to do our jobs and make a comfortable, liveable, wage. Meanwhile they are up top living like Kings and Emperors and all we ask is to live like gents or nobles instead of like peasants, tis surely outlandish and a buffoolery is it not? 👨🏾🌾
Always enjoy a new drop by Startup. Consumers are far less likely to pay more for content especially if it contains advertising. We are saturated with advertising from the time we get up in the morning until we seek refuge in sleep at night. The next big disruption in this industry is AI. No strikes, no wages, no loyalties.
Let's be real here, In the beginning Netflix approached the Unions as New Media. They didn't know if they could profit from it. Now they are the richest. It is not unreasonable for writers and actors who have been partnered in this industry to ask for fair share. I work in this industry, and it's hard to make a living on these rates. As Fran Drescher has stated, the business model has changed, and people are not being paid what they are worth. When the producers are making 75,000.00 bucks a day, then we have a problem. Personally, I would be happy to leave this disgusting situation and go do something else before I would work for Producers like this, that would rather see writers loose their homes, than come to a fair agreement. This is greed on a scale we have never seen.
Good. It's about time. Had far too much influence in zeitgeist, pop culture. Netflix offers international formats. Different storytelling, perspectives ages. The cost of going to a movie is ridiculous in these times where watching from home offers convenience, comfort, repeat and pause.
It´s the very last minute in which I disagree, because consumers hate ads. AI, AR, VR, Blockchain and the evolving social media landscape will continue to give Hollywood a slow death. It will be death of 1000 cuts but it will die. The future is fan funded projects and solo projects. KickStarter started it, the blockchain will give it nitrofuel. Look what angel studios did with sound of freedom. Even if some people don´t agree with the message. They know it and they are thriving even if you don´t agree with the message. The Empire, the Resistance, the Sith, the Jedi... let the past die. Good video, love the quaily.
Well you're missing one part of the story because the Black Mirror episode Jonah is awful is merely a brief insight into the future which is just there on the horizon and which will likely get accelerated as many of the Hollywood creatives are terminated after the strike and try to strike out on their own teaming up with venture backed startups and using AI along with the studio in their independent productions. Ultimately the very actors and writers who are marching will be some of the biggest users of AI and it will eventually produce the bulk of what we consume. From the small writing team that uses AI to fill in a lot of their episodes to the aging actor who grants a startup exclusive use of his AI image for keeping him young in the movies. In reality venture capital money will do what it always does drive an over capacity in any sphere including AI film production.
As it stands today, we dont need writers nor real actors. Everything will be artificial. The rollout is happening right before our very eyes. Say goodbye to the over inflated egos of those people involved in film production living high on cocaine and other class A drugs while they look down on the rest of society like if we are nothing.
You can only assess businesses by how they treat their customers. So, when you ask if Netflix are the, “hero or villain,” it’s pretty obvious they’re the villain. We only have it in our household because my daughter shares her account with us. But, if they banned account sharing, as they’ve threatened to, repeatedly and actually done so in some regions, we wouldn’t pay for it ourselves. Amazon Prime is much better value, with a wider range. If a movie fails at the box office, everyone says, “Well, that’ll be on Netflix in a few weeks.” How insulting is that to customers? How often have they canned excellent TV shows, leaving stories and cliff hangers unresolved? How often have they commissioned appallingly offensive dross and aired it deliberately knowing that controversy will get them viewers? How often have they ruined beloved IP’s like The Witcher, out of a total disrespect of their artists and source materials, showing an overt contempt for the fans in press interviews? How often and how ruthlessly have they exploited their own staff teams, as the writer’s strike so colourfully demonstrated? They are a business who has no love for their product; not even a basic respect for it. At least Hollywood still has lovers of the art form there? They appear to view creative people in the way that robber barons saw the teamster unions in the 1920’s and 30’s, to be corralled and controlled or crushed. And they actively hate their customers. There was a time when that did not seem to be the case, where their disruption was having a positive effect and viewers were getting ground breaking, innovative TV, like Rick & Morty, Breaking Bad and House Of Cards. But those days seem long gone, apart from the odd flash of brilliance, such as The Squid Game. But I would have bought that, rather than pay for Netflix to see it, had I not already had access. You’re an advert, advocating for advertising, so I’m not sure if I will be able to convey this in a manner that computes? I doubt you’re even interested in actual feedback? I don’t mean that in a negative sense, only in that you are trying to convey your own message, not listen to one but, hhh . . . here goes: I stream services like Amazon Prime SPECIFICALLY TO GET AWAY FROM ADVERTS. Your future, as you claim to envision it, will fail. The clue is already in your content. You did a pretty good job of conveying the disruptive history of streaming services, but had little to nothing to say about the positive net effect of advertising, until the very end. Because there is no value in advertising to the customer. You argue that it will make quality TV accessible again, but the votes are already counted and it’s clear: people will gladly pay for the one thing that advertising platforms don’t want to offer, or only ever offer grudgingly: quality TV. You tacked on the one controversial point right at the end, showing you appear to know this? And that you appear to know people won’t swallow it? Almost as though you already knew you would lose your audience if you gave the game away at any earlier point? It was all very skilful and well presented, until the end, when it wasn’t. A lot of viewers (not me) will have received that finisher like a big, “Oh and the future’s bleak, so f*ck you!” I heard it that way, except without the, “f*ck you,” at the end, because I accept you have a job to do, couldn’t find anything meaningful or useful to do with your lives, so you went into advertising instead. 😉 Just teasing. But, people will keep migrating to ad free services and ditching the advertising model. Partly because the reputations of big streamers are so bad that no one feels any loyalty them, the way the license fee payer does to the BBC (though even they are a shrinking group now). The trust is gone and ethics matter to people. Partly because content quality is so routinely poor on services like Netflix that it’s better (cheaper even) to simply buy copies of the rare good things, when they release on BluRay or download, supporting genuinely creative work rather than pay a monthly fee for a lot of dross they don’t want. Partly because viewing habits are evolving toward the RUclips style of model, with ad free versions of that (more tailored toward people’s niches) growing in popularity, like Nebula. Oh, and they’re way cheaper than RUclips’s dizzyingly expensive asking price. And, every time the share holder groups pull a boardroom coup and ruin a good streaming service, by turning it into an ad platform, someone else will come along and see the business opportunity in providing an ad free service, to which paying customers will continue to migrate. Think about it? People pay a lot of MONEY to get entertainment free of advertising. Do you honestly think advertising adverts is the way forward? . . .
You know what's really amazing? Movies weren't played on television very often during the majority of the popularity of magnetic tape video recording systems. It took forever to create a large VHS collection.
Great video. I agree with just about everything you say. I just think you left something out of your conclusion. Yes, we as consumers will eventually pay a higher price for content. Yes, streamers will have to introduce advertising to cover costs. But, also in this mix should be the cost of the productions themselves. I think the big studios should reduce the cost of productions, and in doing so, also give the writers a more equitable share. That means a little less for the big name actors and directors associated with the projects. Perhaps less CGI. And definitely better stories. But, advertising alone to keep the system we have now of high budget low-entertainment content going is not going to work.
No its not Netflix is bad writing and ticking boxes in stead of concentrating on good well made story's to entertain fans and new people to the movies and TV.
Yet another part of human interaction and celebratory events we used to joyfully collectively anticipate, line up for and experience TOGETHER, is gone. Is it progress or another way to isolate, separate and devastate the collective nature of the human psyche?? The breakdown of the family unit has happened in the last 50 years, less than a lifetime, the built in village that taught kids so much about respect, communication and security also gone with the demands of providing profitable returns for the very few… in fact the only thing that would have challenged the 1% was our collective unity.. which has now been demolished by industrial requirements and the same modern world who continues to “divide and conquer”, effectively turning us into the slave class a truely separate world requires.
Maybe Hollywood as it is needs to end. Nobody needs to make the millions of dollars that some actors make. They also don’t need to win awards wearing designer clothes worth more than some make in a year, let’s not even get into the jewelry they wear. Why are we giving celebrities, who already make an extreme amount of money, awards for doing their job? Nobody else gets awards for doing our jobs. And why does anyone need several houses worth millions each house. They all need a little humility. Why do celebrities feel like they can be rude to their fans. The fans make them celebrities. Finally the fans are saying, we deserve better, you don’t need to make millions of dollars per movie. Nobody needs to be worth over 100 or 200 million dollars. When people go to work and work hard and make their business grow and become wealthy, that is sometimes deserved. People don’t deserve millions because they have a beautiful face and work out and eat little to have the right body type. Hollywood needs to die and start again with some actual values the next time around.
Hard to sell tickets at those prices just to show off your great writing when youtube is free. The next 12 Angry Men could just be a youtube video if you're talented enough.
Netflix films are almost pornographic. Have to be careful when choosing a film, because nudity is prevalent. Who wants that in their home or around their children or teens? There should be a warning before the film starts that sex and nudity will be presented.
you’re giving netflix too much credit for the downfall of hollywood. up until recently netflix is just a conduit for movie consumption; better for you to make a case study of netflix with other streaming services and theaters than hollywood which is in the business of producing content; there would be no netflix without the contents from hollywood or foreign producers namely South Korea which just got a billion dollars thumb up from netflix for more content. hollywood is greedy and has lost innovation and is simply imploding.

Netflix is awesome! Ads is what will kill the streaming world. That’s why everyone left TV.
Woww the presentation is awesome. You are going to make it big with this channel.
I won't watch ads.....I'd rather just pay more and remain ad free. Hate corporate manipulation shoved in my face
It took 7 different people to make this one video I dunno if that's sustainable but your other channel might help does it even cover all 7 of yous ?
I will pay more for ad free content. Any streaming service that does not offer an ad free option is going to limit themselves.
As it stands today, we dont need writers nor real actors. Everything will be artificial. The rollout is happening right before our very eyes.
Say goodbye to the over inflated egos of those people involved in film production living high on cocaine and other class A drugs while they look down on the rest of society like if we are nothing.
