Netflix is dying.
now adjust for inflation
>>223362405>Oh nooooo Mr IRS, we're totally going bankrupt, please don't make us pay taxes, we're practically broke lol
>>223362405they don’t make anything good anymoreno prestige televisionand somehow every once good director that does a movie for them has it be one of their worst
>>223362467Did they ever make prestige? I don’t see any of their stuff spoken of with the best of HBO, Breaking Bad, etc.
whodda thunk that going from $8 to $20 would be a pretty nasty move
>netflix is finished for the 47th timek
>>223362484stuff like The OA was kino, it just didn’t go to 6 seasons netflix doesn’t have experimental stuff anymore, just trapped in their slop algorithm that makes all the decisions
>>223362405Stranger Things was their milkcow and now it's buried
Even the normies are waking up to the fact that scrolling through their catalogue is torturous, it’s all “Netflix Originals” & they’re all slop. It’s actually laughable how little money they pour into good directors compared to how much they have to work with.
Who will succeed them?
>>223362405RIP lugenpresse filth
Netflix margins are crazy its nuts how they’ve been able to just squeeze people with pricing
>>223362405Money is tight for a lot of people. Suddenly they realize Netflix isn't exactly a good use of their time or finances
>>223362405Maybe they should raise the price and add tons of commercials.
People remembered that bluray players are 5 bucks at Goodwill and you can get Seinfeld seasons for 2 bucks as wellIf you spent 15 bucks a month on your dvd/br collection you would be better off than paying for Netflix
>>223362405Hopefully they hurry up and die before they desecrate Pride & Prejudice with that dogshit awful cast they announced.
>>223362635because fuck talking to my family
>>223362655???
>>223362405>small dip>THE MARKET IS DYING>THE COMPANY IS DYINGShut the fuck up, retard. How about you post actual numbers?
>>223362676Imagine being a Netflix bootlicker.
>>223362405good
who the fuck pays for netflix you can literally stream this shit for free
>>223362704We have wifes and its a state status thing
>>223362484house of cards and daredevil
>>223362704People who aren't brown third worlders like you.
>>223362621>Trans woman>dreams of working in coalLmao even in their fantasies they can't escape being men because no woman yearns for the mines
>>223362405>revenue of multi billion dollar company drops 0.1%>NOOOOO!!!!!! HOW IS MR FINKLESTEIN ABLE TO AFFORD TO FILL THE COKE VAULT ON HIS 5TH YACHT NOW???? THIS IS A DESASTER!!!!!!! PUT OUT SOME SPIN ARTICLES ON ALL NEWS CHANNELS SO THE GOYIM OPEN THEIR POCKETS DEEPER!!!
>>223362684>dumb retard makes dumb retard claim and other dumb retards play along >heh bootlicker No, I just really hate confident retards. You have all these dumb retards ITT giving their takes, confident in their great analysis and intelligence, and it's just really annoying to look at. It's not confined to Netflix. It's about literally everything. Every dumb retard on the internet is an expert in everything all at once and they totally know exactly what's causing X or Y. How are you retards not even asking for a graph or any kind of numbers and just concluding Netflix is totally going to die, and of course it's because they don't make anything good anymore, or because they increase their prices, blah blah blah. And then when they make a recovery, that means what you said before was retarded, right? That means you were wrong, right?
>>223362704I watch everything for free online. I appreciate all the paypiggies
>>223362762Everyone's laughing at them and saying they deserve it though. If anything this is just exposing everyone's reasons for unsubscribing.
>>223362459lol just so They really get away with a lot with these kind of scams. Everyone is getting paid but somehow the company is never in profit.
>>223362769>super unhinged wall of textGet the sand out of your vagina anon
>>223362793This is the summary.
Concerning this, I have wondered what's the best option for independent filmmakers seeking to distribute their films & series and build an audience.
>>223362484House Of Cards and Orange Is The New Black are the only things worth talking about
>>223362762Well when your whole operation is leveraged to shit and interest rates go up a point this does actually mean potential disaster These companies are structured around infinite exponential growth and the whole plan is for investors to pump the stock price as much as possible before dumping their bags
>>223362676The reason a small dip triggers these reactors is because they operate, by design, with very small margins. No motherfucker likes to pay taxes, and if you're rich there are a million ways to not do that. One way is to set up the company so that it pays out to everyone who is invested in it, but still looks like it's barely in profit. If it actually does 'dip' too much this can still cause a panic though. The way Netflix and Hollywood in general do this is by paying people to make the stuff. The money is in owning those production or visual effects companies, or the catering or logistics behind all of it.
a hundred million normies are going to unsub from nextflix because of cuties, any minute now.
>>223362841People still buy Nestle products.
>>223362467> no prestige televisionThat's intentional. All their most popular series are comfy, mindless trash that's enjoyed by normies and housewives. Just look how many seasons shows like Emily in Paris and Virgin River get, while "prestige" shows get cancelled after one.
>>223362484Netflix got to where they are by appealing to the lowest common denominator i.e. filling their app with slop to appeal to women like reality shows, true crime docs, etc. It just turns out even that has its ceiling.
>>223362841Desu it is legitimately strange that this wasn't a giga-scandal among normies, huh? They'll get serious about how liking Rick & Morty means you're a bad person, but a major streaming service producing pedo-bait is just like 'oh you silly Netflix you shouldn't be doing that lol'.
>>223362405Well, they did keep cancelling or ruining any and all good show they used to have without making new ones while rising prices. They probably really wanted HBO/WB too. I thought it was just a move to bankrupt and then buy Paramount but that may not have been the case after all.
>>223362875It's not that, it's just that Netflix is too big to fall. Same way that Youtube has scandals 24/7 but people can't leave because it's too ingrained in our society by now, leagues above stuff like Myspace or Facebook.
Is Amazon Prime Video better?
>>223362893> Horrible, horrible UI and discoverability.> Pay us even more money if you don't want 4 #ad breaks in every show.Fuck no.
>>223362866What happened with nestle
>>223362889If they're too big to fail like that, they should be too big to be owned at all. Protocolize that shit. Nobody owns e-mail, nobody should own social media or streaming either.
>>223362934They have an entire Wikipedia article dedicated to their misdeeds.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversies_of_Nestl%C3%A9
>>223362875>Desu it is legitimately strange that this wasn't a giga-scandal among normies, huh?no it was all screeching faggots on the internet going nuts over nothing, as usual, the fact retards expect normies to care about the same shit they do every time is hilarious.
>>223362875Internet outrage is more often than not an irrelevant minority, especially when talking about such huge companies.
>>223362875did you watch cuties
>>223362956I mean this is one where it seemed like normies should have cared MORE than the terminally online chorus. Maybe the normies didn't care only because it was presented to them as 'online f-slurs lose their shit over new Netflix show' so they didn't want to be on the same side.
>>223362945Ok but which one are YOU referring to?
>>223362975No, should I~?
>>223362730>People who aren't brown third worlders like you.there is no bigger sign for being a consumer cattle than paying for dogshit streaming services
>>223362987>I mean this is one where it seemed like normies should have cared MORE than the terminally online chorus.why? almost none of the people screaming about it had watched it and completely misrepresented what it was about.
>>223363053uh oh, got a cuties apologist over here.
>>223363053Does it have some kind of nuanced or edgy take on the pageant thing, like 'Little Miss Sunshine'?
>>223362987normies didn't care that their president diddled kids.
>>223363065>being a mindless reactionary faggot is a good thing actuallyok
>>223362405good. i’ve been boycotting netflix since they cancelled dark crystal age of resistance. fuck this gay ass company.
>>223363073Literally 99% of voters wanted a diddler POTUS in 2020. It sucks but that's the world we're living in.
>>223362467They have a basic rule for content that everything has to be written in "bits" that can be added, removed, or reordered based on focus audiences and algorithm driven engagement tracking. So writing is all short-term, editing is about making "connections" at the start and end, and all the color/cinematography has to be as bland as possible to allow easy reordering and focus-driven grading. There's also the more universal issue that all TV is now aimed at people who aren't actually watching the screen (thus endless talking and quips with a handful of "tik tok money shots") and the more basic issue that viewers are retarded and cannot grasp any form of nuance or implication.
>>223362987Outrage only works when what the company is doing goes against its base, like a beer company using a tranny to sell its product to working-class people. Something like Cuties is in line with the core subscriber base of Netflix.
>>223363139
>>223362676If the number goes down for even a single quarter you lose. Number can never go down.
>>223363069>nuancedAnyone watching it would come away with the same conclusion. The film was very deliberate with its lesson: that we should really have a good long conversation about the overt sexualization in culture that has bled through to the children to the extent that it has an industry built around it. It's kinda funny that the people who chimped out about it was in the same camp as the film/director.Personally, I didn't care for it because the girls were a bunch of french el goblina del diablos instead of cute and funny.
>>223363098You actually believe this and that's sad
>>223363098>>223363170The election was stolen and Trump won 2020 lel
>>223363170GTFO of here you MAGA loser Your god-king is a diddler, deal with it.
>>223362405Streaming needs to die. It's nothing but a scam to trick the sheep into not noticing that they're paying for stuff they'll never own.
>>223362405nigflix huh? oh well
>>223363153>Something like Cuties is in line with the core subscriber base of Netflix.cuties is a small movie that most netflix subscribers haven't seen or are even aware of, idiots on the internet tried to blow it up as some pedobait movie without ever watching it themselves and gave it some clickbait oxygen, that's all.
>>223363167>Guys, our movie that sexualizes children is really ANTI-sexualizing children. We swear!Lol. If they really wanted to do what you said, they would have made an animated movie so no actual children would be exploited. They just wanted an excuse to film children dancing sexually.
>>223362405The industry won't let streaming fail because it's like Steam where the end customer doesn't own jack shit anything. Plus for bonus points the profit margins are higher since there's no physical media to produce and distribute. >>223363195Not even close to true. That's why Trump is doing what Biden, Obama, and democrats refused to do with cracking down on the supply. You're just desperate to grasp onto anything you can because Trump is deporting the trash over 50 other countries dumped here to make their countries suck less.
>>223363252Project harder, nonce.
>>223363251That is what I mean. The subscribers are ignorant and the movie is just part of the din of slop on the service.
>>223363252If they wanted a movie sexualising children, why did they pick such ugly children?Should have named it uglies desu
>>223363283>Personally, I didn't care for it because the girls were a bunch of french el goblina del diablos instead of cute and funny.Mirror principle.
>>223363338more than one person has replied to you
I had netflix sub for 10+ years.Earlier this year they made UI changes and deleted: search function, catalogue and the ability to sort A-Z. I think they just deleted 50% of their entire library of movies/shows they didn't own, and this was their way of hiding that.To this day I cannot believe there was zero outrage over this. I found one article about it, with some like 20 angry comments but that's it. I canceled my sub the day after. It is completely unusable.>Imagine trying to browse /tv/ without catalogue and there are no pages 1-10. You just get recommended 10 threads at random (4 of them are duplicates, 2 you've already reported/hidden, 2 are just spambots, 1 thread several months old and 1 is Odyssey fake box office). You hit refresh four times in 10 minuter intervals, but it's the same 10 threads, just in different order.That's what Netflix 2026 is like. I felt like I was the only human among npcs/bots for pointing this out.
>>223362405Its not dying its just settling after the boom. And when they say comeback unlikely they probably mean within the year.
>>223362484They had some good season 1s just because they made so much shit and got lucky. Problem is when you have a good season everyone tries to get in on the credit by forcing notes and shit and that i why their shows get radically worse in later seasons.
>>223363485All they're really selling is the algorithm that produces recommends and the search engine that helps you find things you want. And they make these features worse every year (same with all search engines and social media and streaming services).
>>223362893No but everyone just has it for the shipping anyways. Also sometimes if people come over I put a music channel on.
>>223362405Good, they are an affront to cinema
>>223363251you don't understand the criticism of cuties
>>223362782This. David Prowse who played the body of Darth Vader never got any royalties because:>"Return of the Jedi has never entered into profits."Look it up, I shit you not.
Make the switch to true kino.
>>223362405>Still have 3 times more subscribers than any other service.
>>223363588Phones are the reason why anything new is loaded with intelligence insulting exposition.>character just took out garbage>30 seconds to a minute later....>there's a five minute exposition dump on the intricacies of taking out the garbageIt's trash contend made for trash people.
>>223363569They also fund productions of new content on algorithms as well. House of Cards for example got greenlit by them because their algo said that remakes of British TV shows, Kevin Spacet and David Fincher were all very hot right now and the combination would have an "larger than the sum of its parts" effect.
>>223363485People just have it on auto-pay. 99% of the sheeple watch what's on the front page.
>>223362934Killed a lot of Africans indirectly and killed a lot of Indians directly
>>223362635i know torrenting fell off in popularity but it still blows my mind people pay for old television shows
>>223362405this article is about the falling share price (down 41% in the last year.) their reasoning for this is that engagement is down (viewership rates down roughly 8%) and the expectation is for this to continue, so they are expecting the stock value to continue to drop.
>>223363839For a long time i didn't even bother torrenting but streaming got so ass now I'm back.
>>223363095based dominar
>>223362730browns will inherit the earth
>>223363839Why? They have a TV and a bluray player. A hundred bucks gets them a thousand episodes they can just watch in random order for years.
>>223363455yet you called that person a nonce and not the one he replied to. must. defend. cuties.
Message to torrentfags: Every single torrent has an intentional error be it sound or visual. Pirate "Chads" do this on purpose in a mistaken idea that copyright holders "can't charge them with crimes" because "they didn't upload the film tee hee."Fuck torrents. They're a waste of time. Physical media is the real treasure.
>>223363167>we should really have a good long conversation about the overt sexualization in culture that has bled through to the children to the extent that it has an industry built around itFundamentally doesn't work when the movie you made is just part of that industry. It's like saying we need to do something about war and starting one to prove the point that war is bad.
>>223363954>he doesn't know what a remux is
>>223363954>Message to torrentfags: Every single torrent has an intentional error be it sound or visual. Pirate "Chads" do this on purpose in a mistaken idea that copyright holders "can't charge them with crimes" because "they didn't upload the film tee hee."Tell me you have no idea how computer work and in general might have tenuous grip of reality, without telling me.
>>223363996I've used torrents before, you're just not paying attention and looking at your phone or too bust gooning to notice the shitty picture and audio quality. Physical collectors are the real Chads.
>>223364035I'm not arguing that the quality of most torrents isn't below that of a bluray, however saying that there is an intentional error that lowers the quality is just ignorant, there are many ways to reencode a video file without changing the quality, but yielding a different file, or you could even change part in the credits.
They killed rental stores. They get what they fucking deserve
>>223363839For 5 bucks I'd rather not have to fuck with a hard drive or blueray burnerAlso normie friends have an easier time picking out shows from the shelf than browsing your downloads
>>223364089I know for a fact of what I say. True, many times it's morons uploading content with their crappy phones that are terrible at everything, but many other times it's pirates thinking that they left the ultimate loophole just in case they're brought to court.The only torrents I've ever seen that weren't intentionally or moronically corrupted were 4K77;et al.
>>223362405Long overdue.>>223362484Altered Carbon was fucking kino but they dropped the ball with S2. I was so mad about it at the time, and I still am a little bit. They should have kept the same gigachad actor for the second season instead of doing the retarded race swap. Looked horrible and I just couldn't get into it.Besides this, The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass are also decent. Not sure if any of these are comparable to Breaking Bad or whatever. But they're good. Too bad at some point Netflix decided they need to produce everything using the same cinematography and stuff to the point it all looks and feels the same, pure slop.
Then Netflix (and possibly others) chop out "problematic content" that some of you never ever notice.Like their "original Twilight Zone"s are censored. An episode where a guy saves the day with a gun is cut out. Splash is censored on Disney+It goes on and on.
>>223363807Yeah, but no one cares about those groups
>>223364221You should.
>>223363870I heard anon bought shares in Netflix. We all know the real reason the price dropped.
>>223364248Why?
>>223363954They all work fine for me. Stop using VLC.
>>223363139great post anon. This is super interesting, but fucking grim, sort of. You can just avoid watching Netflix of course, but it's just kind of sad that this is what people do after work -- zone out to mindless "content" rather than watching something legit interesting, or ofc doing something else entirely.
>>223362484Every Black Mirror season has at least a couple episodes I might call prestige, along with some not so good ones.Also, Dark
>>223364393>VLCShat the bed long ago. Pot Player is where it's at.
>>223362621>trans """woman""" wants to work in coal mine.Fuck, I should work at Shitflix. Be really fun to come up with this stupid shit, then try to put it in some kind of context lool.
>>223364448Striking Vipers was the best thing that anyone had ever made, and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
>>223362769>How are you retards not even asking for a graph or any kind of numbers and just concluding Netflix is totally going to dieLiterally no one ITT said netflix is dying other than OP. Are you retarded? Can you not read? Other anons merely discussed the issue after the OP's overly enthusiastic "Netlix is le dying!!!". So why don't you consider punching yourself in the balls?
>>223364181Altered Carbon was great, amazing world building. I didn't even watch S2. You can tell the GoT influence, in how it was trying to push the boundaries.The storylines were... eh.thanks for the recs. Any other good Netflix productions I could watch?
>>223363139I believe you but where do you get this from
>>223363981>It's like saying we need to do something about war and starting one to prove the point that war is badThat's kino though.
>>223364845>I believe you but where do you get this fromnta but just look up "netflix second screen"https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/jan/17/not-second-screen-enough-is-netflix-deliberately-dumbing-down-tv-so-people-can-watch-while-scrolling
>>223362405
>>223362405Didn't K-pop demon hunter saved netflix?
>>223362676Yea, 40% in a year is a "small dip."
>Stranger Things had a shit finale and nobody is watching its spinoffs>Squid Game is getting a billion seasons but nobody gives a shit about them>Wednesday is forgotten and Jenna got bogged>Euphoria got canned and nobody knew unutil afterwardsWhat went so wrong?
>>223364181Altered Carbon was always going to be a tough one though. The setting demands that the actor changes for certain plots. They found a really perfect actor for it in season 1, the other guy just wasn't perfect. That said they should have known what they had and stuck with the first actor somehow. They could have made it work, it would just piss off book-faqs.
>>223362833dividends are taxed m8
>>223365230You just do stock buybacks tell the IRS you lost money on the trade since you bought it back for more than you sold it. You pump the stock price and get tax rebates. Fool proof. Works even better if you borrow money to do it.
