Theres a lot of money to recoup if they can monetize some cheaters to paying a few bucks to legalize their relatives usage.It's not lost, they just try to get rid of freeloaders with password sharing!
I actually perfer some of the not well known classics. There is where so much archived content never seen the light of day from the 30's, 40's, 50's. Many genres TV series and movies. Netflix is very weak on this content, so is HBO Max representation. Thats where third parties like Tubi, Crackle, EPIX and others step up. MGM has an awful lot of missing content that Amazon shot for, but have yet to see. But to be candid I don't see Disney or WB for awhile supplying a lot of this content over what they have already made online. It takes time to transcode film to digital content. Both seem to be more inclined to pump out new content. Then we have the ridiculous Hulu existence to phase out so that Comcast can separate itself from that, So Disney content can add the adult Star section in the USA. Netflix content rotations are still clearly superior to whats offer by broadcast channels, so that whats most people's motivation these days, an alternative entertainment source, just like other streamers.
It's because they are one of the only streaming holdouts that want to charge for 4K...in 2022.
Surprising enough there are subscribers that have really old gear and they constantly argue about what players does the best upscaling of SD content on a HD TV. But like you I wish the whole legacy SD subscriptions would fade into the sunset.i am more irritated that Apple still sells a cheaper SD version. HD video has been around now for like 16 years i dont think they make less than 720p screens anymore
They have over 200 million subscribersIt's because they are one of the only streaming holdouts that want to charge for 4K...in 2022.
It’s almost as bad as Apple charging extra for RAM over 8GB and storage over 256GBIt’s ridiculous at this point 4k is the default
This is a big deal. Everyone in my household has "forgotten" about the things they used to watch on Netflix because they get reminders for everything else on the TV app.Honestly, it definitely has something to do with their refusal to integrate with Apple's TV app and system. Monetize that!
Do you know of any artistic examples that don't look like B movies with mediocre acting?Netflix should stop being coy with softcore stuff like Bridgerton and countless other "naughty" shows and just go full porn.
Too much 4K will exceed most cable ISP data caps believe it or not.It’s ridiculous at this point 4k is the default
Fewer subscribers -> less money -> less money to plow into content -> fewer subscribers?![]()
Lots of projectors are natively SD FWIWi am more irritated that Apple still sells a cheaper SD version. HD video has been around now for like 16 years i dont think they make less than 720p screens anymore
Apparently not, because so few people cancelled that they actually made MORE money from the price increase.They're out of their mind for expecting people to pay $20/month for 4K.

sorry man , Netflix is still one of the better services out there, they are not going to crash and burn like it sounds you want them to.

That's a very good point, losing other Studios' content almost certainly only exacerbated the apparent lack of quality content. Netflix had the rug puled out from under it in some ways, but as you've said, they should have predicted that day would come and prepared for when it did.Agree, but there's the other half of the equation that is Disney etc. starting their own streaming services because of Netflix's success and moving all of their content over. I don't see how Netflix management can be blamed for this, with hindsight it's easy to say this was bound to happen, but...

Trying to justify theft is pathetic. There is no excuse. If you don't want to pay for it, then you shouldn't have it or act as if you're entitled to it.In the past it was quite difficult to download content from pirate sites, but today it is just a few clicks and you can download a whole season in minutes. Some people still feel obligated to "support" content providers by buying a regular subscription, but if Netflix wasts money as it does, I di not feel any moral presure to do that. A few years ago Netflix spent $1 billion just for the rights to show all old episodes of "Friends" for another year. They also soent a lot of money on deals with Harry and Meghan and the Obamas. I do not want to support either of them with my money. And I definitely do not want to support a criminal like Tony Robbins, who also received a lot of money from Netflix.
Streaming Services are so scattered at the moment. I watch series from Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, Disney+ and others without having a subscription for any of those services. If I subcribed to all of them, I would have to pay hundreds of Euros per year.
Just imagine in a train nobody would check the tickets. Legally you would still have to buy a ticket, but there would not be any fine for you if you don't. How many people would still buy a ticket?
Not sure where you lived but I paid around $15 a month 90s dollars in the 90s. When a ppv event was around $30.TBH I think its a fair deal compared to cable tv. Cable TV cost was like $60 a month in 90s dollars. With streaming services you even get to watch it where ever and when ever you want with cable you have to stick to a tv schedual and you had to pay more for each extra dvr for each extra tv you want to have that cable service in the house.
This is only the first book of the Gray Man series. Be interesting to see how it fares as far as viewers ratings.Netflix is lame. They are stupid enough to spend $200m on a lame Bourne Id wannabe while that money should have been spent on an original series, would have covered any season 1 easily.
