I've never shared passwords and I've never cancelled Netflix because I wanted to support their model of streaming, no content blackouts, and full season drops. Obviously, it wasn't priced well and/or people have taken advantage because that model is clearly going away. I am not going to pay for blackouts and slow releases though, sorry…
I've never shared passwords and I've never cancelled Netflix because I wanted to support their model of streaming, no content blackouts, and full season drops. Obviously, it wasn't priced well and/or people have taken advantage because that model is clearly going away. I am not going to pay for blackouts and slow releases though, sorry. I'll just focus on video games and buy the handful of shows that do more than fill time from Amazon. I have a feeling there are going to be a few years of negative feedback loops before things stabilize again.
I would be surprised if Netflix switched full-on to a weekly release model. I think it makes sense with some things (e.g., game shows), but their whole TV model is based on binge watching. If it's unsustainable I think it mostly means that Netflix simply doesn't work as a business proposition writ large.
You'd know better than me, but I still worry. All the other streamers are against full drops and many prioritize cable releases over the streaming platform. They are now selling off their back catalogs too. All of those seem to be prudent financial decisions even if it means an inferior product. If Netflix feels they need the revenue I'm worried they cave. They've already created an ad tier (didn't mention earlier I'm against paying for the privilege of watching ads as well). Its not the only option but the overall trendlines are worrying to me.
