Here is an idea: Stop making crap programming and the audience will return.

I was looking at the top ten on HBO/Max the other day. It’s all junk from their basic cable channels.

Netflix spent so much time on little kid movies promoting DEI garbage…they simply burned through years of production. It’s going to take a couple of years for them to regroup and get decent stuff through the pipeline.

Hollywood just cannot get out of their own way.

The DEI TV Era really kicked in around 2017-2018 on television. ABC corrupted all of its shows at that time, and Amazon later followed up with DEI requirements, even down to the ownership level, as I recall.

Disney/ABC, Netflix, Amazon, and others have been producing crud you just have to ignore, as you finish up the episode. You know what years were good and what years to just never see again, the delineation became so apparent. Entire series are unwatchable, and movies you hear are DEI you won't catch.

It's a sh-tstorm of implausible DEI series, everywhere, and they want to know why people are not watching their indoctrination shows?

Why do you detest Jeff Bezos? He does his business within the parameters of our laws? generates all kinds of jobs/tax revenues and spurs manufacturing all at the same time?

We piggy back on my daughter’s Account. No way I would pay for the garbage on hbo.
Netflix is pretty much worthless.
I get the Prime offering, marginal choices.
I seem to only be able to watch 20+ year old movies, and the good ones cost extra.
Streaming services have reached their peak. You will own nothing. Monthly fee for unwatchable garbage.
