Stranger Things gets maybe five days of conversation and then I never hear about it again.
nah
the strategy is to make the ad-free tier so expensive that it can sustain itself but still draw in the diehards willing to pay for it. it will continue to increase in price, but it's not going to vanish. they are just going to keep inching it up until they find the point they are happy with.
One Piece was an exception, but I worry about future seasons. ST had a lot of discussion at first but then fell off with new seasons.
I dunno. Dungeon Meshi is getting a weekly release like other platforms do and is all the stronger for it.
I would pay the Netflix sub only for that smooth UI. Every time I watch something on Prime and even on D+ I keep thinking about how much better the Netflix UI is.
And there's so much content to watch. Good and trash but entertaining nonetheless. I almost never go on Netflix and don't find something to watch if I'm in the mood.

The most recent ST season was probably the most popular one yet. It had way more discussion than even season 1 did.
And Bridgeton is huge and talked about a lot more than most 'popular' shows. The audience is just almost entirely women so it's not gonna be in the same circles as many shows in terms of discussion
People are going to hate this, but do I think a lot of that was due to the staggered release giving time for discussion and theories to happen, rather than it being a thing that drops and everyone just binges in a weekend and then moves on.
Plus every episode being a fucking movie. You have to be reeeeally dedicated to watch all of that in a weekend.
Yeah obviously there are problems with the streaming video business model and they still have challenges. It's just that peoples' perception of it exists in a tiny little box and any level of disinterest on their part gets magnified into a assuming that it must be failing horribly, when the reality is that they're arguably the most successful and least precarious of the bunch.
You are in a huge bubble. Most recent season of ST revived a song from the mid-80s into a huge phenomenon.
Ripley just came out two weeks ago.
That's a you problem. Season 4 was critically adored and was talked about for months because of the split season and Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill'.
Always tends to be the case. A sizeable contingent of Era has this weird divorced-from-reality take when it comes to Netflix's content.
It's because they conflate their personal dislike of Netflix with the platform lacking content.
No matter how many shows/movies you rattle off, certain members on Era will just always view Netflix as a platform that doesn't have any quality on it.
Netflix's also getting movies and shows from a lot of these other services again. Their own services losing money so they gotta start licensing out their content again.

Wild seeing posts like this after the generational run Netflix has been on the past 1-2 years
For the people who are old enough , do yall remember how network tvs were refusing to share content with Netflix cause they wanted them to choke from no content ? lol Netflix laughing all the way to the bank Now. There was a time where people were thinking it would die cause fox, nbc , cbs refused to put there content on netlfix instead opting to open Hulu.
I think people overlook that social media algorithms are personally tailored to the individual. On top of that not everyone goes to social media to talk about the shows they're watching.
My wife watches shows like Virgin River and Firefly Lane which were successful Netflix shows and she talks about them in group chats with her friends or in person.
If you're not seeing discussion about shows you're interested in then social media is working as intended. It doesn't mean that it's failed because you personally do not get exposed to it.

I agree with point 1, I feel point 2 devalues content and Netflix's whole model is just dumping as hard and fast as possible, it all feels disposable at some level but that's just me I guess.
Yeah all the people on here who were sure this would hurt them were wrong. I don't watch a ton of TV anymore (damn 16 month old) but no one seems to be touching Netflix anytime soon in the streaming space.
Don't I wish! In 2017 Netflix put out Ozark, Mindhunter, American Vandal, Castlevania, Glow, Dear White People and End of the Fucking World
Lol I'm just trolling. I'm sure there's some great content on Netflix and their stuff clearly resonates with lots of people. I personally unsubbed a couple years ago and haven't ever felt like I'm missing out on anything. But I'm sure others would disagree with me. I tend to watch more movie than shows and I feel like movies is Netflix's weak spot

That sucks, they platform some really terrible people, I wish more people would take a stand against it by not giving them their money.
It's undeniably shitty but they platform some pretty good people as well. Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda came out within the last few months and she calls out Netflix championing Dave Chappelle while platforming gay and trans comedians. The last Netflix is a Joke festival had a variety of themed specials as well, including a queer one.
Not an exaggeration. Their deals with the Korean studios including Studio Dragon have made Netflix such a powerhouse that they basically operate like a major American network in terms of weekly content (that is regularly simulcast in english subs if not dubs). It's serious enough that it has the screenwriters and directors guilds at least talking about strikes, since Netflix has been delivering show budgets few can compete with, but also specifically doesn't pay out residuals. (See this Hollywood Reporter article from last year)
I unsubscribed about a year ago and honestly haven't missed it.
I don't watch that much tv, and appletv+, Disney+ and the local tv streams have been plenty for me.
But I'm obviously not the norm, that's a lot of new subscribers.

thats the key here that people are missing, netflix has a tremendous first movers advatadge in the most countries, for example in my country its the number one option with everything else being miles behind
alot of things, my family just sets down and puts a random show on, my mother likes horror/ hisotrical shows so she puts on anything that fits the bill, and sometimes finds pretty good obsecure shows, netflix has so many not known to the mainstream shows, but popular within their own niche .
and most people just put anything within a genere they like
if netflix gets sports espcially champions league football/prem/laliga its over for other streaming services world wide.
thtas also another factor, suits is not well regarded on the interent but its very very popular, there are plenty of shows like this on netflix
whats that?
Honestly it doesn't surprise me anymore. I was really sour on Netflix library 1-2 years ago but ironically with others starting to license out movies and shows again (especially Warner brothers with max/hbo) Netflix has a lot of good content that is rotating. They are going to make Netflix even more dominant by doing this
Netflix pumps out so much content it's just not worth my time to sift through any of it, so I don't. It literally never crosses my mind to open up Netflix when I want to watch something unless I hear some kind of buzz or hype.
Honestly it's not surprising that an enthusiast forum like this doesn't like Netflix. Keep in mind this is also a place against mobile games and f2p, and that market is dominating the gaming space. I think to be attracted to this style of community, you probably have taste in media that's a bit more thoughtful. And Netflix just churns out braindead content with the occasional gem.

I lost access to my subscription after there was a crackdown on people using a VPN to subscribe to another country for cheaper prices.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! :(
I would sub back to the tier with ads, but if they don't want to make it public what content you can't access under that tier, then I won't be going back.

175 Movies and Series Unavailable on Netflix's Ad Tier in 2024
The number of titles unavailable on Netflix's ad tier has reduced by almost 50% since last year.

It's basically newer Sony films and Universal TV shows. I would be surprised if those aren't fixed by in the next year tbh.
