I feel like the two MAJOR factors are 1. They constantly take off ALLLLL the good content. It’s now a well-known joke/thing that if you like a show too much on Netflix they will take it off or cancel it. It just leads to frustration and wanting to go somewhere eles 2. Increasing pricing with little to none of anything to show for it, just makes the company come off as greedy. Wanting more BILLIONS then they already have.

My issue with Netflix is simple: Netflix cancels the overwhelming majority of their shows, so it's extremely common for shows to never get proper endings. Why bother with new ones when there's a pretty solid chance that they'll never get any real sort of resolution? It just feels pointless to even try caring nowadays. Exclusives and original content are an important part of ANY service. A service failing on that front is bound to lead to people jumping ship at some point.

That's more on the viewers than anything. Netflix is a business, if they spend insane amounts of money on a show and only a small % of users watch it then it would be dumb of them to keep making that show over another show that may land better. Look at stranger things, they will milk popular shows as long as they can.

@herrabanani 2 года назад

Subscribers are a lot smarter than they give them credit for. People will just watch the shows they like and then unsubscribe. They won't stick around if they keep canceling the shows people like, plus if that becomes a trend people won't wanna get invested in their new shows.

Disney has it right with releasing episodes one week at a time then immediately when that show is over putting out a new show with the same format. It keeps you locked in to the subscription.

@PhoenixRiseinFlame 2 года назад

I’m surprised he didn’t mention the mediocre content. For every great IP Netflix creates, they great like 30 pieces of shovel ware. They also end successful series way too soon. They will never develop a show like Friends or Seinfeld due to this strategy (shows that have evergreen drawing power for audiences). Contrast this strategy with that of HBO Max who has done an excellent job with creating compelling original content. Succession didn’t start out as a roaring success, but now it’s one of the most well respected and popular shows out there. It was given a chance to develop and grow its audience and HBO is reaping the rewards of that patience. I’m also surprised he didn’t mention the binge model and how dumping all episodes onto the platform at one time stifles anticipation, stalls water cooler conversations, and allows for the IP to fall out of the zeitgeist far sooner than if the show released episodes weekly. I also believe releasing degenerate content like “Cuties” hurt their image with a large segment of the US population (including a lot of families)

@3Cr15w311 2 года назад

The problem is the content. Years ago it seemed the selection would increase and they'd transition into having more and more movies and old TV shows. I figured eventually I'd be able to watch nearly anything but the opposite happened. They seem to have been removing stuff more than adding. I'll think "I'd like to watch movie X or TV show Y." I'll check to see if they have X or Y and the answer is "No" most of the time. That's the problem. I've watched most of what they have that I want to see and it takes a long time for things to change as far as selection. They keep going up on cost and they should use that to increase the selection instead of constantly getting rid of stuff.

@ericfan9149 2 года назад

I think you outlined most of the key issues well. Another problem that I think all of the subscription services will face is "subscription surfing" which is much like channel surfing, except applied to entire streaming services. In a nutshell, people will watch whatever content appeals to them on one streaming service, and once they've depleted those shows or movies they'll cancel their subscription and join another streaming service (even if it's only to watch one show that appeals to them - The Mandalorian, for example.) Once they're finished watching that, the cycle repeats itself and the viewer is off to find new hunting ground on another service. Eventually, some of those same subscribers might renew their Netflix subscription when new content appears, but this pattern is baked into the model, especially with so many services available now. It's why subscribers fell off so precipitously after the pandemic - because the increase in free time accelerated this natural pattern.

@bluulock9538 2 года назад

For me the best streaming service is actually RU-vid Premium, for getting rid of ads on RU-vid. I’m a young adult still mooching off my parents Netflix, but if they cracked down on this I wouldn’t get my own subscription, I don’t care enough about the content. I would just do something else. If I was working there I would caution leadership to be prepared to be brutally honest with themselves about how many of those password-sharers they have any chance of getting more money out of.

I feel like streaming is hitting a self-inflicted bubble. Streaming is firmly entrenched in society, so it's never going to go through a "burst", but I think it's reaching peak growth and may retract some. Oversaturation has hit the market like a ton of bricks, there is way too many services that each one has become largely a piecemeal offering rather than a great catchall value as it once did in the days when Netflix and Hulu were the only games in town. Peacock, Discovery+, Paramount+, Prime Video, Apple TV+, AMC+, CNN+, FuboTV. Did we really need all of these?

I think one of the biggest reasons, Netflix is having trouble with increasing subscriber growth and revenue is competition from other streaming services. Disney+ & HBO Max have much better path to growth simply because of their already existing libraries with huge amount of quality content as well as having in house studios that can keep creating new exclusive content, not to mention the flexibility to burn any amount of cash both these competing services may feel they need to secure market share. Netflix reached the top by being first to market but it did so by raising huge amount of debt with path to growth and profitability just on the basis that no other new streaming services could come close to them.

They "claim" they're missing out on revenue by not limiting access, but they've structured it by screen count on purpose to account for sharing, which is why they charge more for more of them. Suddenly claiming that it should be limited to household is their problem, not mine. That's not what the agreement has been, and they've even encouraged sharing in the past. They're just trying to squeeze their customer base by describing them as essentially "stealing". Changing the structure changes the value, which means all 200 million+ subscribers now either have to choose to keep paying for less access, reduces their screen count(costing Netflix money), or cancel entirely(costing Netflix money). Between that issue, and treating their current subscribers as if they were thieves, they'll lose more revenue than they can ever hope to gain by making the change.

@mewgiah8057 2 года назад

Netflix had a chance to be different from the other networks and failed miserably. While it's understandable that shows would need to be canceled if not enough people were watching them, they could do something different - and let the shows have an "ending". Even if its just a final order of two episodes, or a 2 hour movie. There is nothing worse than being a viewer who is getting invested in a franchise, only to have it canceled abruptly. A good example of this is Mind Hunter. They spend two seasons building up the BTK killer, and then the show just ends. I get it was expensive to make, and not enough people were watching that masterpiece of a show. But at least give the series a 2 hour film, or an order of 3 episodes to wrap up. I know for me, things like this kills my confidence in wanting to watch shows on Netflix. I'd rather wait for a series to be 100% done before jumping in. Why waste my time on something when I don't even know if it's gonna have an ending? And again, Netflix had the opportunity to be different from Network TV. Maybe instead of spending millions on 30 + shows/movies, how about you FOCUS on quality first - then expand once you've completed projects you've set up. It's not that hard of a concept.

Netflix falls into the "Fireproof" category, a juggernaut brand who became too complacent with programming and overall layout due to lack of competition.

@@FlyingKoreanMinja I think a bigger problem is their vetting for new original content is just... not very good. They follow trends and memes rather than actually making an effort to make good content. And since they're so rich, their method of making the content is "throw money at it until you make something." Cowboy Bebop's live-action show is a good example. They saw Cowboy Bebop as one of the most profitable, successful anime in all of anime's history, so why not make a live-action reboot? The problem is, they didn't really look at the creators of the show to see if they were capable or talented enough to make that reboot, and on top of that, they ignored the extreme criticism from fans of the original property that were begging them PLEASE DON'T MAKE THIS, WE DONT' WANT IT. They just assumed money can fix all problems, wasted millions, and then surprise surprise, the show was awful and people hated it, so they cancelled it.

I have found that Netflix has the worst recommendation algorithm out of their competitors and their discover ability is awful. The fact that their marketing is centered around their mediocre reality shows is also baffling to me

@heychrisfox 2 года назад

Definitely disagree. All of the others in my experience are pretty bad. They have no rating system, and only have a watchlist feature. They'll make recommendations about the stuff you put in your watchlist, but not much else than that. The reason that their content seems more specific is because their libraries are generally smaller, and they recommended the newest stuff, or the stuff you watch most often, so it feels like you're seeing what you want to see. Netflix has a massive catalog, but because of their watchlist and rating system, as long as you use those systems, it starts to give really tailored results. I watch a ton of anime, and guaranteed every time a new anime original gets posted on Netflix, it'll be front and center for me. Meanwhile, my mom watches tons of crime dramas, and her main page is all crime and police procedurals. They even recently upgraded the liking feature with now a "dislike" button, a "like" button, and a "double like" button, which can help tailor the process even more. The key is using the features. If you don't like many shows, and you don't put many shows in your watchlist, it has no idea what to recommend you beyond the stuff you randomly watch and click, meaning all the data they have to go off of is watch time, which is unreliable. Because if you watch a really bad movie for 2 hours, hated it, but didn't rate it or didn't remove it from your watchlist, Netflix's algorithm just says, "I dunno man, he spent a long time watching that movie, guess he likes movies like that."

The other day they told me Paw Patrol was in the top 10 most watched shows in Canada this week (because a 5 year old is watching kid shows on one of our profiles).

A friend of mine wanted to see it, and I tried, I normally don't judge a show on its first season, but I could barely sit through the seasons I watched. When we talked, apparently some of the content in the show, she experienced, for example one of the characters had their first period in a public place, to which when I was in Middle school, that apparently happened to someone while on a field trip, so there is a possibility that a lot of the content on the show is based off real life events, this.....I actually have no problem with, as on the show Married with Children, Al was left at the airport, had to walk home, and demanded for his car keys back as no one was responsible, Bud gave Al a screwdriver, this was actually something my family laughed at as we had a vehicle that we turned on with a screwdriver, people will cling to something that they can relate too, or makes them feel not alone or the 'only one'. The issue I have with Big Mouth, is that the creators are trying to find something to push, that dose not need to be brought up. One episode, as far as I am concerned, confirms this. One character mentioned making their lives into a T.V. show, to which another said (not word for word), "WOAH! A lot of the shit we've done would never make it pass the censors, plus age restrictions and all.....well, unless it was in cartoon form." This tells me that the shows creators 'want' to see where the line is, and using loopholes push it over that line anyways, I do not like this at all as these people titter on the edge of appropriate and inappropriate, while the main characters are still minors, however, due to these 'loopholes' can still make these scenes, placing basically children in sexual situations. This is what I have a problem with.

@kronos2611 2 года назад

I think one of the big problems is increasing prices, and decreasing content. Netflix are quickly becoming known as the company that will cancel your fave shows and that's a difficult place to come back from. I think the subscriber base might also look a lot worse if you remove those subs which are included free as part of packages people get from other sources. They do still have some incredibly high quality shows but is that enough to keep them going in 10 years time - maybe not. As deals end with other providers of content who setup their own services the Netflix offering is going to start to look rather barren.

@DrinkYourNailPolish 2 года назад

When cuties was announced to be coming to Netflix a few years ago, I sold all my stock in them and canceled my subscription. I refuse to go back. I want nothing to do with any company that revels in grooming. Same reason I also dumped Disney

@jdphoenix3750 2 года назад

Your video is quite timely for me as I just cancelled Netflix for the first time since acquiring it in 2007. What finally did it for me was the price point going up again and the lack of time I spent watching it. For me the quality just wasn't there. As far as favorite streaming services, HBO Max is by far the one I watch the most.

@Kenxstudios 2 года назад

Besides the troubles you have outlined, another you've overlooked is quality of content. They often don't have a lot of good quality shows or anything that could draw people in.

@heychrisfox 2 года назад

I would argue they have a lot of stuff that draws people in. But that's the problem. They only want people to be drawn in to see their hit new viral film or tv show. But most of their new content is really shoddy quality, and not actually very good or well produced/directed. So people watch for the show, say, "Okay, that sucked," and then leave again. That's not a good business model, because it relies on them spending tens of millions to produce flops that may go viral or may waste away in obscurity. And because Netflix pays upfront for productions, if the show is a flop, the creators aren't the ones responsible; they can make garbage and laugh their way to the bank.

@chakenbacon 2 года назад

I think the biggest issues are the price going up and password sharing. I understand Netflix wants to crack down and get their money. But I’ve always felt they were in a good position financially. And asking for more just makes them seem greedy, and messing with the customers doesn’t help. Despite the fact that a number of them are piggy backing off one account, Netflix was still making good money with the subscriptions they had. And I feel like cracking down on the passwords will just turn a lot of people off, like it already is right now. They need to give the people more reasons to stay, cause their original content isn’t enough for the price and restrictions.

@Caterfree10 2 года назад

Yeah, this exactly tbh. A lot of people saw them as being greedy with the password sharing crackdown, so they cancelled. Add in that they’d rather keep making new junk instead of focusing on any good properties they have short of a handful of hits (Orange is the New Black springs to mind), and a lot of people aren’t going to stay for that.

@heychrisfox 2 года назад

@terminal3 Yeah, this is definitely the frustrating part of Netflix's perspective. Because like, I see their perspective too. They don't care about your family being in two different places at the end of the day. What they do care about is something like one of my friends. She was in a relationship with a guy, but they broke it off. However, she was still signed in to his Netflix account, so she kept using his service for free, because he didn't take her off the account. That's the person Netflix doesn't like; she's mooching very obviously. And that's a very common issue. The problem is that they're using a scorched earth policy to deal with the problem, and affecting people like your family who are caught in their crossfire, which just makes people mad.

@MM-fe9mz 2 года назад

I tried Netflix twice but the trouble I had with them was there lack of any content. They had such limited content compared to something like RU-vid that for unlimited RU-vid without ads is only 15 bucks a month. Not at all impressed with Netflix and will not waste money using them again.

@jamest3145 2 года назад

For me the unpredictability of content is becoming an issue. I moved to Japan several years ago and enjoyed being able to watch British tv shows from back home which Netflix kept for many years like Downton Abbey, Skins, Peep Show and Inbetweeners. All of these have been removed from Japan Netflix for no reason and I find it harder to justify paying when Netflix just don’t seem able to licence and keep content I’m interested in. I also get annoyed that subtitles aren’t always available for international movies in English. For example, if you watch an anime in the UK, English subtitles are available. If you watch the same anime in Japan, there are no English subtitles at all. The same goes for movies in other languages too. I’ve complained about this but they just don’t seem to care.

@redraptorwrites6778 2 года назад

I did a poll on my channel for whether my subscribers thought Netflix will make a good BioShock movie (since it was recently announced). Over 70% said no!

I also hear many complaints about how shows audiences do like get canceled too fast.

Then when they started to lose subscriptions; They increased prices, which made them lose more subscriptions; rinse and repeat. Respect your customers; Add value to your service or you fall.

@adultmoshifan87 2 года назад

I personally think the streaming market is getting too saturated. Netflix’s current troubles and CNN+ failing are 2 possible signs the streaming market COULD crash. Also, having to subscribe to 3 different services to watch content from Disney, Warner Bros and Paramount is not something everyone can afford! Also, if content gets taken off a streaming service, it’s gone unless it happens to be available on DVD or some other means! I think a possible factor into Netflix’s demise is their disregard for animation. They were a powerhouse for many years but suddenly decided to cancel MANY projects all at once, putting too many eggs in the Boss Baby basket (I’d have thought that new Boss Baby series would be on Peacock instead, being a Dreamworks franchise!) and losing all knowledge of what they’re doing! Also, with a possible recession incoming, at least here in the UK, many people are going to have to cut back on what they spend, so these many different services will have a hard time co-existing! Did you know Cartoon Network ceased broadcasting in Spain in 2013 because that country was hit by a recession? What’s great about cable and satellite TV is that for one monthly fee, you can get many channels with content from many different studios and can record it very easily! With streaming, you have to subscribe to many services subject to what you want to watch, content can be taken off and it’s not guaranteed you can watch it some other way and if your internet goes down, you’re out of luck! Just because you CAN rely on the internet for many things doesn’t mean you should! Personally, I would much rather add to my DVD and Blu Ray collection than rely solely on streaming! You know anyone leaving Netflix? Buy them The Mitchells vs The Machines on DVD or Blu Ray!

@kevinmach730 2 года назад

This is without a doubt true. And possibly this is part of reason for what's going on, that people are gravitating toward the new shiney things that are out right now, but I don't think there is room for all of then. Canceling cable to nab a few streaming services was a no-brainer, but starts to look less attractive when people realie they are paying for 8 streaming services.

But I don’t want to find a movie/show I want to watch. Then scroll through 30 services and by the end of it have a ruined afternoon.

It was so tacky that they were basically considering us all idiots by trying to give us less for more money. That's what they were trying to do with Qwikster kinda, it was insulting to everybody's intelligence.

@srichardf 2 года назад

The thing with Netflix and well most streaming services is when it's time for a hit show to get a new season their subscriptions increase then decrease dramatically once people are done watching the said show. Netflix at the moment has three very popular shows, "Stranger Things", "Cobra Kai", and "The Witcher". I remember last December-January they released a new season of "The Witcher" and the next week a new season of "Cobra Kai". So within two weeks they likely saw a subscript drop. They are likely getting a rise in subscriptions now that a new season of "Stranger Things" has partially dropped with the other part of the season dropping at the beginning of July which is likely a smart move by then to keep people from immediately cancelling their subscriptions. Disney plus does a good job when releasing a new show of only doing one episode per week rather than dropping the whole season at once thus keeping people subscribed while that season is releasing.

@dearyvettetn4489 2 года назад

There are so many streaming services I have them on rotation. I wait until there are a few shows, after they fully drop, that I want to see and I turn on the service just for a month or two.

@alman54 2 года назад

The biggest issue I have with Netfilx is that they seem more focused on creating original content rather than try to build a better catalog of movies and TV shows. I originally thought, way back in the beginning, was that Netflix would carry EVERYTHING ever made. Movies, TV shows, it was all on Netflix. Well no it's not. My one favorite old TV show is on Netflix, but Prime Video has another movie/show I like. And Paramount + has another. And Disney + has another. So if I want to watch the things I like, I have to bounce among four or more streaming services. And then there arrives the point where you have to choose which one to drop. Probably Netflix, since they don't show anything I really want to see.

@lauralee7146 2 года назад

What kills Netflix is the price for content ratio. Prime video is included with Amazon Prime which most of America has, so it is very convenient and includes a decent amount. Hulu is cheaper and not only includes a backlog, but also the regular recurring shows from Fox, ABC, NBC, etc. I agree with a lot of the commenters; you get Netflix for a month to binge watch a couples seasons of a show and a few movies and then you cancel. I'm not confident Netflix is going to be able to out compete with the major networks with regards to making shows in the long run because I think they are going to keep burning too much money.

@Aikko77 2 года назад

Hulu also has specialized deals and packages. Like if you're a student you get Hulu + Showtime for free with Spotify Premium, which pretty much everybody has. That's Spotify + Hulu + Showtime for $5 a month. Who tf would pay $17 a month for Netflix when that's an option?

@daltonschrader8328 Год назад

At Netflix’s height when they had content from everyone and you didn’t need to scroll forever to find something good piracy was actually on the decline because Netflix usually had it within a few months of hitting dvd. Once all these other streaming platforms popped up and took all the good content from Netflix people jumped ship and piracy became popular again. If all the providers came together and made 1 reasonably priced service that had all the offerings it would have became super successful. But since they all wanted their own they will never be as successful as they could have combined.
