You deserve this for not supporting Netflix in their time of need. I hope you’re happy with what you did.

Have they considered not pumping countless millions of dollars into garbage original programming? I'm sure it's very difficult to create great art but it's not that hard to know it when you see it. Great artists exist, and Netflix has the money to pay them. How are they not finding these people?

Please delete that image. It hurts

I could create it but they 2 gay. They gave a show to warren ellis and he called me a genius once and I shit all over him

>THEY ARE GIVING UP
nope
the ad version will eventually reach the non-ad version cost

if you can't sell a better product make everything shittier and charge for more

anons have been saying here since the beginning of streaming that it would just become internet cable service. fact is they have no competative moat and people are doing netflix better than netflix.

because the countless millions they put out of original programming would become billions if they hired competent well established figures and aimed for the same output they have today.

Anybody else notice HBO Max started showing skippable ads? It use to be completely adfree.

for me its HBOmax

Giving up? this is how they win.

i just use kodi, why the fuck would i pay for tv and movies?

they had two options. Either lease the IP like Spotify, or make their own.
They chose... poorly

If they don't make their own content then they won't have anything left in a few years because everyone and their dog has their own streaming service now.
This whole experiment started going downhill when streaming services started being content producers instead of merely distribution hosts.

this, I’m consistently baffled that so many people still use it whenever I spend one second looking at the catalog, it’s only dogshit originals and straight to video tier acquisitions

>because the countless millions they put out of original programming would become billions if they hired competent well established figures
no it wouldn't, they will never be HBO or even AMC, nothing they make will ever have a real fan base

>paying to see ads
damn their execs are truly retarded

You said it yourself, it;s not fucking art but programming for the masses.

Spotify is still the best streaming service imo. I know it doesn't have the lossless shit, but I'm convinced nobody gives a shit about that except a few nerds, and it has the best library, interface, and social aspect

If it's free with ads I'll bite but pulling out my credit card is one step too many and I may as well pirate.

Nah, their business model had to shift because all their competitors own the content. Netflix was kicking ass when it could lease stuff for cheap because it wasn’t getting screentime anymore, but the writing was on the wall as soon as the vertically integrated companies entered the market. Pivot or die are the only options left, and it looks like they’re going to do what they can but ultimately die.

Why do they keep employing Mike Flannigan

Other services saw how much money they were making and took their shows back.
That's hulu. Not to mention amazon video where you subscribe but still have to buy shit

We already are well on our way. Once every streaming service has cheaper ad options, it'll be like cable never left.

yes, it's still available.

the mega archive i got from Yea Forums in 2019 has been mostly deleted

All I can do is pay or not pay and tell others to do the same. My standards are simple, no ads at a reasonable price or no buy. If that standard becomes unworkable, I’ll find other ways to pass the time. Fuck advertisers

Have they tried not pumping billions into absolutely horrendous adaptations of past works by liberal hollywood, and instead focus on just acquiring a decent library of content to begin with? 99% of the shit they make is absolute fucking trash that no one watches, and then 1% knocks it out the park like stranger things and squid game.

There’s 2 tiers of hbomax. One with ads and one with none

I hate when people mistake wordplay with cleverness.
It has been called programming since forever. The term literally predates computers.

Year by year they lost more and more shows as new streaming services came up. Then everyone realized 99% of their original catalog is garbage. Where Netflix really shines is in crime/murder docuseries

It will. Paramount has ad plan. Now Netflix. Iirc HBO has one too.
>fact is they have no competative moat and people are doing netflix better than netflix.
Definitely, thanks to places that actually make stuff people enjoy either starting their own service, or at the very least pulling their stuff and moving it for a better deal (or in the case of Amazon buying a movie studio)
Netflix can't compete but it doesn't matter. All are gonna go ad based and you'll either have to pirate or pay a billion dollars every month. It'll be cable company but worse with multiple bills, so that you can watch what you used to be able to, now with a bigger price and the same amount of ads
>you mean your family wants to be able to watch James bond, starwars, nickelodeon, Scooby-Doo, sports, and how it's made? That'll be $120 a month

Not at all how it works. No one sold them content and no one was ever going to. They leased everything, that was the only option. It worked when they were the only streaming service with any real traction and could get things for cheap, but ultimately it looks like they cant keep up with the more established companies

I used the term 30 minute program to describe a tv show just yesterday ironically so don't think you are smart you thick piece of shit My point still stands on the programming, sorry it pissed your kike ass off. You're not as clever as you think.

The consumers will never win. Ever.

why not give it for free if there's ads?

It would be really funny if in the near future streaming subscriptions became too expensive and were all filled with ads anyway and everyone started going back to cable.

literally duh retard.

nevermind the fact that there are more ads than ever before in human history.

>fortnite now has ads and online play will cost money to ensure security

>AMC +
never heard of her

in fact quite the contrary user. everyone supported netflix for over a decade now. it worked at first because it had most of the content people wanted. but as the studios got greedy and pulled their shows, netlfix decided to operate by pumping out original shows. the problem is that these shows are expensive af to create, which means a higher subscriber price. also these shows just don't carry the hype for the higher price,

>the spectrum silver plan is back
Ah yeah

uhhh but for me its free i just download on rarbg/eztv and use my money to fuck a hooker

It's probably still top 4

they kinda had to though. they were licensing the content through third parties, who saw netflix's success and said "hey, we can do that", and so they did.

>paramount
Has Trek
Has halo
Has movies from the studio
Has new releases like scream

I'll use the Netflix money to get the sports package

>Has halo
lol, lmao

>average revenue of 20 billion

capitalism rocks

>free with ads
yeah that won't happen. all streaming services have ads tiers and they all cost money.

At any point in time the people in every country could decide to do to billionaires and bankers what was done to Gadaffi and in the same way society no longer tolerates monarchy in the west we can choose to no longer tolerate the excesses running rampant today. Nothing lasts forever and rich elites are parasites growing increasingly out of touch in their arrogance and opulence, people haven’t fully grasped how weak their masters are and how dependent they are on their goons and middlemen and keeping the spotlight off themselves as individuals. If making the Forbes list presented a greater risk than reward, I’m willing to bet many would be less gung ho in their devotion to Mammon

I haven't watched it. It bad?

Literally still use it because I'm too lazy to put my Seinfeld DVDs on.

>(You)

I’m more nervous one day the same companies will become the isps as well. For now there’s a shifting hierarchy of power but eventually a fire phone, Apple isp, or google studios might get some momentum and then it’s all fucked. AT&T is almost there

Seinfeld autists made me aware that it shouldn´t have been formatted to 16:9 and now I can´t unsee the off camera perspective in a lot of BlueRay remasters

I haven't watched it either because it looks like complete shit. I've played every Halo since CE release too.

Haven't heard anything good from it, not sure how it's viewer ratings are but I dont think that really even matter for streaming sites

Well, in my country, Netflix is the one with all the Ghibli catalogue. Lots of famous anime shows as well like Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist, Evangelion, Beastars, Cowboy Bebop, etc.

Sometimes this site is funny lol

They could try making things people want to watch.

HBO has existed for decades.

"Programming" in the definition you bring up meant the same thing in the context of propaganda predating computers too. Where did you think the word came from after all?
You are barking at a ghost, one that wasn't in the post you replied to.
