Fuckin hell I’m dying at this American F1 team featured in the first episode that loses both drivers because they couldn’t secure the tires properly.

Netflix is planning to roll out less expensive plans, supported by advertising.And there it is, that's the bough breaking. Things only get worse from here
Netflix co-CEO Reed Hastings revealed the move on the company’s quarterly earnings call Tuesday, adding that the company will be examining what those plans will look like “over the next year or two.” Netflix COO Greg Peters said that advertising “is an exciting opportunity for us.”
-Introduce new media platform
-Solve every problem
-Reach pinnacle of money to make
-Bring back every problem
-Repeat
The genius solution, as usual, is to axe all consumer-friendly policies
Silly, naive Netflix should've known that letting demand drive the service rather than the other way around would backfire eventually. Tut tut tut

Subscriber churn has impacted revenue growth, and aspects of Netflix’s distribution model — releasing episodes all at once for binge watching, rather than sticking to a weekly release schedule — could be revisited to remind subscribers why they are and should continue to keep paying for the service.
“Netflix’s business model presents a structural flaw that actually encourages its subscribers to churn out when finances are stretched,” Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter in his Wednesday report. “By dumping all episodes of a new season at once, Netflix subscribers are able to binge the entire season and churn out till next year.”
Though other rival services have found success with ad-supported offerings, Lightshed Partners analyst Rich Greenfield is less optimistic about the overall impact on streaming. “It is scary if the only way to reinvigorate growth is offering cheaper products that worsen the consumer experience, essentially making it more like the dying linear TV experience,” Greenfield said in a recent report.What'd they think was going to happen? Was this always the goal? Kill an industry and replace it with itself? Is that what "growth" is?
But Greenfield added that SVOD is “certainly nowhere near as profitable as the legacy businesses that streaming is replacing.” That, in itself, the analyst added, is “not an encouraging sign for investors in the sector.”

Tell that to the stock price lol.
I too believed that the future involved most people spending a big chunk of their disposable income on ten different subscription services.
Bone show cancelled. Head of Original Animation sacked.
Rynda’s firing was perhaps an inevitable end to a deeply chaotic period for Netflix Animation, particularly its Kids & Family division, which saw a boom of talent and creativity give way to corporate pressure, mixed messages and accusations of “staged data.”
A few years ago, there was no place more welcoming or seductive to artists and animators than Netflix Animation. Netflix’s animation units, like its live-action divisions, were known for being a place that you could bring a project that might not have gained traction anywhere else, and suddenly have it produced, without much studio interference.I remember this well. Such a bummer. Makes sense now it was a bubble ready to burst. TBF, no real hits came of it. Who remembers Maya and the Three and Kid Cosmic? Not like Netflix was helping tho.
One producer, whose show on Netflix wasn’t renewed, said that when they got to Netflix, Rynda, who served creative roles on groundbreaking animated series like “Gravity Falls” and “Adventure Time,” told Netflix creators, “We want to be the home of everybody’s favorite show.” By the time the producer left several years later, there was a “new thesis statement”: “We want to make what our audience wants to see,” Reed Hastings, Netflix’s Co-CEO, now told animation talent. As far as mission statements go, those are vastly different.
Netflix currently touts “Boss Baby” as the ideal of what an animated series on the platform should be and what kind of numbers those animated series should be bringing in (this was reiterated by almost everyone we spoke to) although Netflix doesn’t even own “Boss Baby” — it licenses the series from DreamWorks Animation. (A new “Boss Baby” series premieres next month.)Also in this article: City of Ghosts (the best cartoon of the last ten years) officially cancelled, with Elizabeth Ito jumping ship to Apple
So what's with all the doom surrounding Netflix? I didn't think me cancelling my sub would devastate them like this
By s y Go To PostSo what's with all the doom surrounding Netflix? I didn't think me cancelling my sub would devastate them like thisThey thought they would keep on growing while rising prices. I have been using Netflix since before they start the service on Portugal and the day the cut password sharing is going to be day I cancel.
Their 4K plan cost as much as Disney +, HBO Max (got a 50% off lifetime* discount for signing up on the first month so it's 3.99€) and Spotify all put together.
If it wasn't for my sister, my father's girlfriend and a friend of mine using my Netflix account, I would have cancelled already.
Netflix’s blog Tudum, an onomatopoeia meant to resemble the sound made when the app starts, is now sounding more like ta-“doom” after the streaming giant suddenly laid off its blog staff Thursday afternoon.Sounds like they specifically went after women and PoC media writers with huge contracts. 7 months later, they're all fired
The blog had hired industry writers, some of whom had come from sites like G/O’s own A.V. Club and Jezebel, to write about Netflix programming, including interviews with showmakers and other rundowns of the latest content coming to the platform.
According to multiple tweets, the layoffs came in late afternoon on Thursday, and many were reportedly blindsided by the news. Now-former writers took to Twitter after the layoffs to announce they were open for work. Several expressed feelings of having the rug pulled out from under them.
I had never even fucking heard of this. "Tudum?"
By Lunatic Go To PostOzark fire this last season Nigel!
The show is brilliant. Wendy is now full villian, Marty just a pawn in her grand scheme, I'm on episode 3 or 4 I think. I'll have it wrapped up by Monday hopefully and I can't wait

🤔
Always amusing when people moan about Netflix cancelling shows that are commonly regarded as being piles of shite.
It's a business.
It's a business.
Still don't know why the fuck they are doing this but this actually looks better than I expected. Not good, but doesn't seem like a piece of flaming shit.
By LFMartins86 Go To Postfirst part of the trailer looks interesting at least, hope that part lasts more than 5 minutes in the film itself

In one of the most baffling ideas ever, Netflix Portugal announced a new Portuguese original show called Rabo de Peixe, the name of a fishing village in the Azores which is probably the poorest village in the Azores.
The story is about a group of 5 friends who found a ton of cocaine and it's supposedly a comedy.
Why is it baffling? Because something like that actually happened in 2001 and it caused problems in the village that still are felt to this day.
More than half of ton of cocaine appeared in the coastline and things got so ridiculous that people were selling plastic cups full of cocaine for 20€, there are stories of a guy giving 300g of cocaine to someone just to charge his phone, old women using cocaine to fry fish and they even used cocaine to paint the lines on the football field.
While it's kind of funny, it left a massive amount of drug addicts on the village, overdoses and turned a lot of people to crime as a way to feed their addiction.
It is just a ridiculous idea all around.
