Behind Netflix’s Turbulent Year: How the Streaming Giant Reversed Subscriber Losses | WSJ

I bet the former Blockbuster executives are enjoying Netflix's fall from grace.

They have their own content but a lot of their content are from other studios

It really surprised me why Netflix didn't try buying 1 or more major movie studies or even try to gain shares in them so they can always have movies on Netflix.
They should try gain streaming rights for Sony movies.

Nice video

If the price of pepsi doesnt go up for a whole year, the company will STILL make millions of dollars.

Not a single admission about one of their biggest problems…productions like Cuties. Pee-dough-file content is nasty and we wont stand for it, keep doing it and you will not survive.

why is it not pay per view like theatres were?

The underlying problem that US media producers face is piracy, specifically, torrent sites where anyone can download whatever they want for free. The prices that Netflix and all other content creators can charge is tied to the cost of the inconvenience from having to download torrents. It's not that inconvenient; hence content creators can't charge anything close to the true value of their content. The US needs to crack down on piracy. Our failure to do so is solely due to a failure of political will. Imagine if we devoted even half of the money and effort -- and military resources -- that we devote to fighting terrorism to fighting piracy. Piracy would be cut by 90% within a few months.

I can see an uptick in piracy from this. I can say for sure, I will not be paying anymore for Netflix

Are we not going to discuss the insurmountable amount LGBTQ+ content, unnecessarily forced wokeness and feminism, and lack of good original content.

I unsubscribed because they condoned a show promoting children pageants which is harmful

I don’t understand how Netflix’s subscription loss was a mystery. They couldn’t make content for 2 years because of covid. Subscribers caught up on shows. Then they raised prices and reminded people that they had a subscription…one they haven’t used in a while. Now they think their original model didn’t work. Their model should be based on content.

Netflix is dominating the Asian market (biggest market) thanks to Netflix original Kdrama, kmovies, and Blackpink light up the sky documentary, squid game, etc do yes Netflix will continue to be the leader of streaming platform. HBO plus, Amazon prime and disney prime etc only cater to north american market and are only popular in north american market which doesn't even comprise half of Asian market.

When they try to stop, or charge extra, for password sharing, I'm definitely going to cancel. I'll probably resubscribe for one month at a time, maybe a couple times a year, just to binge everything I want to watch. Netflix's content library isn't good enough to keep me paying every month for a service I really only watch religiously a couple times a year.

netflix shows suck!!

Im waiting for them to start the new password sharing rules and I will cancel my premium subscription I’ve maintened for years. Just to show them it’s a bad deal!

I'm just glad everyone is talking about Netflix now. Actually reminded me we need to cancel our subscription.

When I will be asked to pay more for the password sharing with my family members - I will cancel my subscription and delete my Netflix account.

Sounds like a stock short scam -- short the stock, pump out tons of malign information about them, reap the reward by pumping seemingly positive unauthenticated information to reboost the stock.

i'm not sure why would I pay if I see ads on Netflix. Why not make it free with more ads? that's what youtube is doing

"netflix changed everything" 😂 Piratebay changed everything!! Netflix just picked up and made alot of content available legally and cheap.. Unfortunately they didn't provide enough content to keep the subscriptions active.

We use a VPN and Netflix is constantly monitoring for VPN's and stopping the show/movie, or not even letting us log on at all.
It is to the point that we are going to cancel our subscription to Netflix. I don't understand why they care so much that we log into Netflix in the UK to watch a show. It is still Netflix so would they rather have our money or one more cancellation?

If I am paying anything at all, it should be ad-free.

VPN will make a lots of $ for people wanting to share their Netflix account

I stop using Netflix a long time ago. It’s expensive, and the catalog is bad… lot’s of stuff there, but with very poor quality. I don’t miss it. HBO and Apple TV+ have much better shows

Netflix will collapse just like Blockbuster did. It will be self inflicted.

We all pretty much can’t take any more from the Harkles

They gonna go bankrupt

I think it would help if Netflix dropped the quality of the cheapest plan to 480p and raised prices. It would really help.

I love amazon prime and Disney plus hotstar more than Netflix as Netflix is costly and 480p only for basic plan is useless they should make atleast 720p as basic plan default.. better use torrent if streaming wars keeps on going.

I dont like that Netflix is stopping Password sharing. I pay for Hulu and Disney+, My sister has Netflix and my Mom has HBO. We all share so we all can benefit. But if that stops then streaming isn't as good of an option anymore. Back to watching it for Free and Illegally if they do that

We left Netflix. It was no longer a value. And they rubbed me the wrong way with the password stuff. One price hike too many

I’d rather just watch sports, and free platforms like Pluto. I can’t imagine funding Michelle Obama’s next vanity project.

People abandoned Netflix because they support pedophilia and homosexuality

Netflix didn't diversify ? is this a problem

Netflis content is trash.

No, it cannot. There are finite subscribers and non finite services. Perhaps you need a math lesson.

As long as they stick to the token woke political gold!

Still with Netflix since 2004. When Blockbuster charged us close to 20 bucks in late fees on 2 DVD's that were a day late, we said screw them. Gave Blockbuster their bone cut up their membership card and moved on to Netflix, price hikes and all we are extremely happy with the Flix. We are old school gen X and we like the DVD's. Sure, make fun of us about the last thing mentioned.

Their adaptations are trash

For nearly two decades, Netflix openly encouraged password sharing and now they're cracking down on it because they're not getting paid enough. First they get you addicted and then jack up the price. This is what drug dealers do.

did you guys see the tv right next to the stove?

Her cracking voice is just painful to listen. Had to stop watching this video.

The vocal fry is really bad on this one..

Netflix can have a great comeback
If they listen to fans

Step 1
Lgbt characters need to be included. But they have to be more than just lgbt characters. They need more characteristics than just that

Step 2
Quality over quantity
Better shows and movies

Step 3
Be able to share accounts

Step 4
Quality over quantity

Step 5
Quality over quantity

And they can have a comeback
