Give me your honest insight: Is Netflix fucked when it loses these two?

They have so much fucking money they could afford to buy out platforms.

The reason is because people prefer long seasons with 20+ episodes. Netflix shows only have 8-10 episodes each season and you have to wait years for another season.

They lose money every quarter

I don't think your subscription will keep them afloat, user

Can't wait for Netflix to sink desu

Well now that they've been up long enough for people to watch them probably not.

It might have been 10 years ago, but today? no.

There's gonna be so many fucking streaming services I think people are gonna go back to just paying for cable

I don't think you understand. People rewatch this shows dozens of times. People will put those two shows on every single night to fall asleep to or have on as background noise, no matter how many times they've seen them in their entirety. There are lots of people who will drop Netflix when they can no longer access these shows.

I don't know, if they are retarded enough to do that they probably won't even think to cancel it and will click on some other shitty show. What else are they going to do?

that's some genuinely bizarre headcanon you have there, user.

Has Netflix ever considered buying a cable channel and airing original content there live? (And ditching the every episode released at once shit.) I think this could actually be a really successful gimmick (people love the communal aspect of watching a show together). Subscribers would get Netflix Live too ofc

It's not headcanon. My brother is one of those people. He's probably watched The Office all the way through maybe 70 times. Every single night. Many such cases!

Yeah there are definitely people like that

The problem is, all of their originals not only turned out mediocre but they've all got a very specific sensibility. Everything they make, regardless of concept, has this sort of effete homosexual redditer vibe to it.

you having an autistic brother is called an anecdote, user, not evidence of a significant reason that people subscribe to netflix.

it sounds more to me like you're obsessed with said "effete homosexual redditors" and have a confirmation bias towards shows with that "vibe"

they all seem to come from the same boardroom, that's the problem. It all feels like creators come to Netflix and then agree to push whatever bullshit narrative Netflix wants pushed and the quality decreases

There were some pretty massive negative reactions when the news broke that Netflix would be losing both The Office and Friends by 2021. Lots of people ready to unsubscribe.

I think it's all those cringey millennial writers they hire. Almost all their shows and films has this sort of dialogue written in a way where I can just picture the smug zoomer fuck who wrote it in my head.

You may be reacting negatively because you're a redditer but it was just the shortest way to get it across. If you really have no idea what I'm talking about then you either haven't consumed many Netflix originals or you consume almost entirely Netflix originals.

Exactly. You can even feel it tucked into shows that should be aiming at completely unrelated demographics.

The best and earliest example of it that I always think of is from one of the last episodes of Orange is the New Black's first season. There is this really weird speech she gives about Neal Degrasse Tyson, the black science man Reddit types were obsessed with back then.

People unironically do that.

It's weird because the first few originals they had felt varied and had decent quality writing. Lilyhammer and the first few seasons of House of Cards for instance were pretty good. It went to shit pretty fast tho

They did, though.
They even got Greg Daniels and Steve Carrell for Space Force, which is obviously intended to replace The Office.

Hrs not making this up. The whole “binge watch” phenomenon came about from people just watching the Office every fucking night. I had a college roommate like that. My sister used to be like that. Hell, there’s a subreddit dedicated to the Office, just search “rewatch” on it and you’ll see some incredible numbers. Some are obviously jokes, but there are a ton of people who have legitimately rewatched this show a double digit amount of times

I can confirm this. I used to just watch streams of the show on Justin.tv over 10 years ago before the show hit Netflix streaming.
It's a comfy show and the more you watch it, the more perspectives you get.
I've also done this with Frasier and Futurama.

There are hundreds of shows exclusively created and/or currently distributed by Netflix. How can you possibly claim to be an expert on the "vibe" of them all? You're literally cherry picking examples of "progressive" shows that trigger your /pol/ complex.

It's true. My sister just has it playing in the background while she uses her phone.

A lot of the early stuff were things shopped around that Netflix decided to pick up, like early HBO. Now that they're creating instead of being someone's saving grace, they're just all samey.

do you think they don't still bring "outside" programs to their platform? do you think netflix actually created all of those "netflix original" anime shows, for example?

Occasionally selling a burger now and then doesn't mean your General Tso's is good Lee

>food analogy
Maybe you'll understand this, then: Netflix is a food court and you're eating at one place over and over and complaining about variety.

>dumb fuck

Maybe you'll understand this. They all buy from the same supplier. It all comes out of the same trucks. The employees all bounce around. Your service sucks.

Nothing on netflix is timeless, it's all current year stuff. NDT is considered cringe now among the same people that would have been jerking themselves to that reference.
