Their content is absolute shit.  It’s all reality shows and repeated documentaries.   All shit.

Funny thing is before this recent news came out I was planning to cancel it because of the shit content.

Interesting how they went with Japanese leads. This is never by accident.

They blame it on sharing passwords. Sorry, that doesn’t pencil out as it would be stupid to assume all the folks pirating Netflix would actually pay for the service. It’s folks leaving they need to address.

Nice try by Netflix.
Maybe the horrible/libturded and mostly "foreign-dubbed" shit programming they got going on while raising prices yearly.
Started at 5.99, now its 19.99. 
All their shows get uploaded to Usenet where I pull the ones I want. (Ozark, etc)

Lost those pandemic gains, plus a lot of the new stuff they're putting out isn't that good as mentioned. I can only think of a handful of things I wanted to watch on Netflix the last couple of years - Ozark, Narcos, and maybe 2 or 3 documentaries. Meanwhile Prime, HBOMAX, etc.... have all gotten much stronger.

Down 35% on the day. Basically, investors thought the company would revive an otherwise fading industry: Hollywood. Not gonna happen.

I’ll still keep Netflix just because it’s so affordable.

But I also have prime, peacock, Hulu, Disney, and shudder.

Admittedly, I’m a movie/documentary junkie. I also don’t have cable.

Disney has been tanking too, not as bad as Netflix but shitty performance nonetheless:

I don’t see COVID having anything to do with it. Most people are not going to cancel a whole subscription just because they are going out more. There is always down time when one is home—it’s either cable or a streaming service.

But, who knows, could be due to Covid.🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Its the simplest explanation, restaurants and bars are now taking way more money so why would you pay for something you dont use?

The trend before Covid was towards more home entertainment. Netflix just has a shitty product.

Netflix is raising its prices soon. This is also a likely explanation.

Netflix doesn’t seem to ever show me much new content but I get the feeling that’s an algo issue. I’ve thought about cancelling recently as nothing new on there.

Stan, Binge, YouTube are all cheaper and better content for me. I might can Netflix for a bit.

Tv show creators need to take a hard look at YouTube creators and learn quickly. People want new content all the time. I enjoy the euro tv shows based in 1600s and stuff, ‘the great’ was fucking awesome. Now, while they film the main tv show, why not have a POV 8min clip where daily content is showing life back then? They’re already in uniform and on the set, fucking walk around pretending it’s the 1600s and you are going to mow the lawn or some shit lol. People would love that shit.

Why do these companies raise their prices as they lose customers? Dish and Direct TV along with every cable company does this. "Let's see, we are losing customers so let's raise the prices so we lose even more customers and get fewer new customers." Makes sense. ???

Multiple reasons people are cancelling, some have already been mentioned.

- Increasing competition
- Lack of quality new content plus popular content leaving and moving to other streaming platforms.
- Increase in price at a time when people are tightening their belts.
- Post pandemic cancellation. A lot of people signed up just to try keep their kids entertained.
- People cancelling and switching in and out between streaming services. You only need Netflix for a couple of months a year to watch new content, then switch to Disney for new content, then HBO etc etc

The new ad model they'll introduce will help, but they desperately need to make better content. If they go to utter shit Amazon will probably buy it.

People spent too much time watching tv during the lockdown. They are fed up with being at home.

People need to research "NZB and Usenet".

5.00 a month you get all the shows from any streaming place, plus music, etc...
I download, copy to USB stick, plug into TV, done... Watched new Mayans episodes 1 & 2 last night. (I dont have cable either).
