I’ll do it for just $500K and it’ll be a series about a man (me, extra savings on casting) wildly misspending the money battling a capitalist society run amok by paying off his mortgage and student loans. Episodes are about 30 secs to 1 min, depending how long the payment sites take to load.
I have had zero desire to use Netflix for years. I used it to watch older shows and movies so when they started losing those and making half-assed original stuff I canceled my subscription and haven’t missed it one bit.
They ruined my favorite show on Netflix by taking out Henry Cavil. So when they stopped account sharing I decided to not get an account and just stick with Hulu.
Might get rid of all the TV’s out of the house anyway. Screw em all.
That is a grey area for me, mostly because of the statements made by the showrunners after his departure. When someone leaves a project they love dearly and promoted heavily and personally drove from the fan side of things, it makes me wonder whether it was an actual leaving or if they paid him handsomely to say he’s leaving and to not badmouth the show in XYZ words or format.
That is possible, but that’s also the type of person that would be most likely to leave a project because of creative differences.
Plus saying the writers were butchering the story isn’t exactly a way for him to exit without making the show look bad. For hardcore fans, that’s a sign that it might be better to just skip it or wait for reviews or pirate it specifically to avoid giving the makers money.
I mean, Hollywood is also built this way. People who shit on their productions have a harder time finding work. It’s pretty difficult to find someone who overtly shits on a project, especially one that’s come out in the last decade.
It’s the second time Henry Cavil has been perfectly cast for what was supposed to be a long running role and he didn’t stick around. You’ve got to wonder if these people just don’t understand what they have. And with Superman they literally just didn’t offer the role again when they decided to reboot the movies (yet again).
Huh well why aren’t people just canceling their subscription? I heard that after Password crackdown happened, subscriptions went up. If people aren’t satisfied with Netflix, there are tons of options now. Not that we want that many.
I think it’s one of those we are only giving you one statistic to make it look favorable things. As a whole at least in the US Netflix revenue went down by 2 or 3 million from the previous year. Their number of accounts is going up, but if you look at where, it is in developing countries in Africa.
Who says people aren't satisfied? I know, a lot of people on the internet complain about the password thing, but in real life I hear from a lot of people that it was fun while it lasted, but they'll just have to get their own account now.
I know my netflix cancellation went toward a fast usenet account. When netflix first came out, it was great and I stopped my own piracy because it was easy, convenient, and affordable to use. Then other streaming services came out and it was still convenient and I paid for those. Then they started increasing the rates, decreasing the amount of content and making the service less accessible. Well thanks guys, you drove me back to piracy as it is now easier and cheaper to get content from a usenet server than for legitimately paying for it.
I dislike that they limited sign in by location for non-mobile devices, but don't travel enough to be a dealbreaker. The reliable flexibility was one of the major selling points originally.
I just fired up Tdarr and already squeezed 2TB out of my movies and I’m only half way through. TV shows should net me the same if not more. Lots of room without even buying new storage.
Disney+ ain’t worth $10 a month, much less $14. Guess I’m going to be saving some money when I cancel. What these streaming companies don’t understand it that we have lots of them because they’re cheap. If you raise the prices of all of them then we’ll just choose one of two and they’re all going to be less profitable.
Yea for sure, however if they went from a user paying from $5 into $10, and then later $10 to now $20, now they just need 1 user for the price of many.
Also, despite a short-term wave of rage-drops from their service, they know they’ll eventually get a new wave of users later on who never knew anything different and the cycle continues.
Of course they do this incrementally so they don’t lose out too much of their base, but all of the services are going up. It’s going to continue to happen and probably quicker than some people realize. It’s happening everywhere
According to Netflix, revenue is up in every region where paid sharing was introduced, and sign-ups have exceeded cancelations. The company saw revenue growth of 2.7 percent year over year. Going forward, Netflix expects revenue growth to accelerate further as it begins to see the full benefits of paid sharing and additional adoption of its ad-supported plan.
@reddig33 For me Netflix was good until 2015 after that they started to cancel TV series with 2 or 3 seasons without a proper story closing. Then I moved to Prime Video which was good until 2021 when they canceled Bosch just to move its sequel to Freevee (free version of Prime Video with ads).
Then again I moved to HBO, which has been nice (in terms of high quality content delivery) if it weren't for the HBO+Discovery merger. Which brings high "quality" content like the Kardashians.
That HBO discovery merger is a shit show. Love HBO. Now they’re making it harder to find stuff or outright pulling it off the site. But relentless trash can be found on the front splash page.
@1chemistdown@reddig33 In my case I'm safe, for now, the merger isn't coming to latin america until October. So I still have time to watch some TV series and movies before the real shit show begins.
After October 1st. I'm canceling HBO and probably saving to money to spending it in games. Also I'm not going to lie Humble Choice subscription looks really tempting to me. I pay for the games, I keep the games on my account even if I cancel it (the subscription).
Because back in the 50s everyone had a growth mindset. Rightfully so, because the population was increasing, and women went to work. Now populations are beginning to shrink, so markets are bound to shrink with it if it continues with the same mindset.
I’m the minority on this show mostly because I did not follow it before it released and came into the show with zero hype and low expectations. I enjoyed it and am confident they will build on it and have an even better product with season 2
