RIP Netflix. Announced a loss in subscribers for the first time in their history, and said they expect more losses into the next quarter. The company lost a quarter of its value in an instant. They're blaming increased competition, crackdown on password sharing, inflation, and Russia. A bunch of other media/streaming companies (Disney, Paramount, Roku, etc) are down in afterhours in sympathy with it. Tomorrow's gonna be ugly

And at the same time they continue to invest millions in a shitty movies - red notice, the adam project, 6 underground, it's like those cheap action movies from the 80s and 90s but with a much bigger budget

The allure of streaming services were that there were a handful and it had most of the content you needed. Now there are hundreds and each one has some good shows/movies and the rest is mostly garbage. They are basically cable tv channels now.

Too easy to just binge watch the few good shows these streaming platforms have and then have nothing to watch for several months.

Its a fragile business, if youre subscribing to a platform for half a year, chances are youve mostly seen the stuff that interests you and would be better off switching, but many of the account holders dont because they're too lazy. So as soon as you make dumb moves like Netflix did with Russia or now threatening to cut down on account sharing, you give extra incentive for the lazy to finally do it

 

[Tak!]

Imagine holding this from 2018, seeing it rocket and then plummet down to your investment value. It's a bit of an overreaction.

Too much of a coward to buy netflix for the obvious bounce

Between losing 0.4% of your subscribers by ditching russia or losing 30% of your global subscribers by staying in that piece of shit country, leaving seems like a reasonable choice. The problem is, netflix shows are all the same and they're shit. Agenda disguised as entertainment aside from old stuff that everybody finished watching already.

Tesla gonna fly tomorrow on earnings beat . Next time it drops around 20% from a high I'm buying more for sure.

I do wonder what percentage of those leaving are as a result of the "woke" pushback, if there really is any at all. I see it a lot online, but of course that is not always representative of the general population.

With dumb moves like with Russia I meant their initial soft stance on Russia, for a good moment they hesitated and were willing to agree to Russian demands of hosting their propaganda channels.

Myself and a few from my circle quit Netflix at that point and when they backtracked (probably because they realized that the gains from Russian market dont outweigh the backlash from row, obv theyre not interested in whats right or wrong) I didnt really want to switch back anymore.

He plays himself in every movie and the plot in each of these movies is terrible

Netflix is fucking garbage. Those movies are horrible.

They weren't satisfied by having shit Netflix so they had to hire Michael Bay to help them become even bigger shit.

 

[Cerval]

This is completely spot on Rus.

Also all those detective pikachu and sonic the hedgehog quips from Hollywood are so terrible. So terrible that human kind would deserve being hit by an asteroid for it.

10000% that blue green screen red notice movie was the cherry on top of their mediocre movies

Literally disgusting.

My friend gave me a free password to use it any time. I gave it a go, tried and watched some, then I stopped logging in for 1 year already. And it just got worse and worse.

HBO Max is the shit, bought Discovery last year.

All Warner Bros productions, all Discovery productions, all HBO productions in ONE streamingservice.

All time classics like Harry Potter from Warner Bros. The most leading documentaries and the largest selection of documentaries. And HBO with Chernobyl, Game of Thrones, The Wire and Sopranos, series considered as part of the best of all-time. For only 5 euro's per month!

yeah he plays himself and he is amazing, I’d watch a movie of him taking a shit if he made one.

not every movie has to be deep and meaningful

True, but they advertise it like it's second coming of the godfather while in reality it's an absolute garbage
