What happened to Netflix?

One word: competition.

They controlled the market when they first came out, but now there's Hulu and Amazon Prime plus other networks with streaming services such as HBO and Starz.  

Then you have the problem that I'm running into now.  I've watched everything I was interested in.  

Now that other services exist, they're trying to change things up again by creating Netflix originals.  While this isn't necessarily a bad thing and they have created some good original shows, I think they are over doing it.  I wonder how much going in this new direction has hurt them in terms of what Arsen is asking?

There are no good movies to watch and none of my tv shows are on there (like Alaska State Troopers, Life Below Zero, The  Deadliest Catch and etc).  They used to have these shows but they pulled them... Even walking dead is gone.  Aside from HGTV and BBC 20 year old documentaries they showed us back in high school, there are literally slim pickings.

Yeah, like someone said, the market has changed.   Netflix was once the only show in town, so they got good streaming deals with those cable stations and movie studios.  Now you have Hulu and Amazon paying a premium to try to catch up to Netflix.  Then you have the networks with their OWN streaming networks or in the future.  HBO, Showtime, Starz all have their own and I know CBS is going to their own, etc.

So Netflix probably realized making original programming may be cheaper or better in the long run.   Also worth noting, unlike the outdated rating system cable uses, Netflix has straight up accurate numbers on what people are actually watching.   They know where to invest their money.   They know what to cut and what to focus on.  

People are starting to get more invested in shows, especially binge watching.   Movies are now made more for overseas (esp. Asia) since going to the movies is still a relatively new experience for a lot of them.

Am I missing something?

Arrow, Breaking Bad, Arrested Development, etc.....much of what I care about is still there.  Maybe Netflix has just allowed us to consume good television faster than they can make it?

They are trying hard to keep up though lol.   Now rumors of 3 more Marvel shows coming.  That's like a 3rd of the year with a new Marvel show each month.

Netflix's new shows hardly fail either, most of panned out for them.

I mean maybe they are just dropping things that not enough people watch?

The Marvel shows have great ratings from what I've read.  We do have to remember how cheap Netflix is for what you get though.  You can watch Americas Test Kitchen and Good Eats and learn how to cook, watch some real estate shows and learn how to remodel and flip houses, Marvel shows just to waste time, Arrested Development reruns for a laugh, or House of Cards for a chilling look at how terrible some people can be......

Still a bargain IMO.

Yeah, that's what I mean, they have clear numbers on what is being watched.  Every time someone starts a program, it's logged, and how long it's watched.

I remember a few months about Netflix released data showing WHEN a person becomes hooked on a show.  It was like episode 3-4 or something, so they have WAY better numbers than regular cable/network has.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
