Yeah I don’t think anybody knows, but I think it’s only a matter of time and you can only rely on brand recognition and momentum for only so long before people realize that there are better services for them that don’t actively strip away the shows and films you love while treating you like an asshole. There’s just too much competition and it’s not stopping any time soon and a ton of people are actually paying a closer attention to their monthly fees and tightening the purse strings.
They probably won’t go out of business tomorrow or a year from now, but maybe 5 years and likely in the next 10. They just don’t have the same cultural cache as it did even a couple years ago. What did they even release that everybody knows about past The Tiger King and Squid Game which was years ago at this point other than like Wednesday. Better Call Saul ended last year. What do they have? Korean soaps, The Witcher without Henry Cavill and a creepy French movie about little girls twerking?
They have a ton of reality tv dogshit content that a ton of female subscribers love lol. Personally i hate it but i bet all of our gfs/wives love that shit. Unfortunately you should expect all of the streaming platforms to lean into that bullshit, especially with the writers strike. It will be interesting to see how many people cancel their plans once all of the good shows dry up due to the strike. We are going to be in a content desert for like 2 years at least.
Why are people upset with that comment? A lot of girls and women watch reality TV. I thought that was obvious…Reality TV’s main target audience is females. I’m not trying to be disrespectful or anything lol. It’s just an objective fact.
Netflix has some GREAT older shows. The problem is I have already watched most of them. The good thing is that I probably will watch many again (and again) every so often. They do still trickle in some new content worth watching.
The very best thing about netflix and the reason I really hope they stick around is that the interface and presentation is totally USER oriented. Subtitles and skip intro/recap are top-notch (compare with amazon :/) and there are ZERO ads before/after/within the content. When I am already paying $, I hate being blasted with ads for other shows but it really burns my biscuits when I can’t skip that crap!

People probably didn’t like your reality TV comment but it’s true my wife watches that shit lol

I’d say a great time to catch up on older shows, but I know that’s both not popular and for some reason streaming services are removing older shows.
