Well I hate to break the preferred narrative, but Netflix is flopping around because it has no historical content. When it was the main game in town, everyone put their historical content on Netflix... Now they all have pulled their content and placed it on their own streaming services and Netflix is down to stuff its created (not much, and all relatively recent) and scraps it can find that aren’t part of the existing media giants for the most part... and on top of it has raised its rates as well.
Woke or not, the decline of Netflix was inevitable... there just isn’t much compelling... at $10- $15 a month to have ad free netflix is no deal.... And who’s going to PAY for an ad based model? Seriously $7 a month and you have ads too? Insane... get one of the other.. Ads or Fee, few are going to pay to watch shows with ads.
Disney for example whether you like them or not is something like $7 a month if you pay for it annually.
Netflix used to be a great deal, now, its not its charging premium prices for less than premium service.
Expect it to continue to struggle. Not going away, but its days of being the king are gone.
you’re exactly right ... we cancelled mainly because there wasn’t anything worth watching ... and their “original” stuff was dreck ... (but then again, “original” stuff from amazon is mostly dreck too ... but i’m paying amazon for free shipping anyway, so their prime channel is basically a freebee for me)
Watching Britbox this year. The older content is great. Their newer content is poor. Even with the better older actors. But have happily watched many hours of the old films and series. At 6.99 per month.
