• It’s the first time the streamer has reported a subscriber loss in more than a decade.

Gee, signing the Obamas to a multimillion dollar deal didn't result in huge revenues? Odd.

I am still subscribed through a family account... But I rarely go there anymore. When I do, I browse around looking for something interesting and wind up wandering off again. Anything worth watching, I have already seen... And the rest is pretty much crap.

If nothing changes, I imagine we won't be renewing the family subscription for this next year.

@roamer_1

Same here. I am still a subscriber mostly because I keep for getting to cancel my account. Don't have anything against Netflix,but there are other companies providing more of the content I want to view for the same or lower prices.

[LilLamb]

They increased their price a couple of months ago. That might have something to do with it. People don’t think it’s worth 15.49 a month for 2 screens, 19.99 a month for 4 screens.

How about Meghan and Harry?,

@mountaineer

I’m paying less than $10 a month but I watch on my iPad n SD not HD.

[Ghost Bear]

Netflix blamed increased competition,

Makes sense, lots of new streaming services out there.

password sharing

Yep, lots of people share passwords between friends or family in order to save a bit.

as well as inflation

Oh yeah, cost of everything going up, including Netflix, and people have to cut back.

and the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine for the stagnant subscriber growth.

Unfortunately, there is a 600 lb gorilla in the room that will not be addressed.

Here goes.

The new game at the house is betting on how many episodes of a Netflix series can be watched before there is a homosexual liplock or more.

At that point we stop watching the series and try something else. We are quickly running out of things to watch.
There is a lot of unnecessary, gratuitous faggotry going on, and that doesn't leave much to watch that isn't queered out.

There is also a bunch of other 'wokedom' happening, and frankly that takes the shine off that apple.

Netflix also is very stubborn in its ways. They are stuck on the binge watching model and will only release shows a whole season at a time even after the viewing audience has tired of that approach. They have no capacity for live content nor do they have any desire to upgrade their system to support it. Simply put, Netflix—which once saved itself from obsolescence with its streaming service and got ahead of the curve—is now behind the curve with no desire to catch up.

They took their position as market leader for granted.

[ironhorsedriver]

I have Netflix only because my cell company pays for it. Can't remember the last time I watched it.

As far as I'm concerned, Netflix was doomed when the Obamas were awarded with a $200M contract, which witnessed the end of the Caucasian leading male role in any 'Action' movie and the insertion of homosexual/lesbian roles blanketing their selection library.

Yep, they have planted character types with unnecessary (to the plot) density. That's a deal breaker for me.

[GtHawk]

Going hard left is one big reason, but another great big reason is content, since the competition roared to life with Groomer+, Paramount, Prime and others Netflix's ability to acquire content cratered. Some of their created content is good but it's buried under a mountain of crap and Hindi movies, and top of all that they increased their rates....real marketing genius there.

We are just waiting for the new Stranger Things episodes and then Netflix is off to the chopping block. Like you I have seen pretty much everything they have that interests me and if I think there is something I enjoy watching over again I will just buy it......once.

Netflix has 'graduated' from homosexual/lesbian to transvestite men wearing dresses, heels and wigs as ex-spouses of star characters. (Secret City)

That said, it didn't seem gratuitous and worked inside the storyline.

I'm a sci-fi fan, but so many of the space operas have people on generation ships that won't breed in that configuration.

Not much hope for the future.

[mountaineer]

I'm on the outside looking in, never having used a Netflix service. The thought of paying more than I already do to watch television is not appealing because it just isn't worth it to me. For those who do enjoy more TV and movies, I hope they don't have any problem with the direction this company has taken.

LOL!  Well, that "future" will probably see lab-grown fetuses, where the parents have an appointment to come and take their child home.

I'm not so sure (yeah, I read Brave New World, too).

But what happened to the psych/development stuff about mother/child bonds, the concept of learning in the womb, and the immune boost from colostrum?

Maybe bottles don't make such good mothers, after all.

[catfish1957]

Back in the day, you could count on Netflix to come out with 2-5 new releases per month that had good boxoffice appeal.

That's now zip, and it has been clutered with foreign shit, and the good content they do have is been cleared from the shelves like crazy.

Yup. Gratuitous faggotry... Instantly OFF my list, never to return. It ain't every one because most of the rejects are foreign films that are not advertised as such. You have to start watching em to find out you need CC.

But 1 in 5 easily are rejected for gratuitous faggotry. 2 in 5 rejected as foreign (which may contain faggotry, but I will never know)... And 2 in 5 rejected for just being plain crap... which may also contain gratuitous faggotry, but I never got that far.

So something like 1 try out of 6 is something I might vaguely get into the unoffensive column... and then from there, might be judged as something I like enough to continue.
 
I have not watched a dang thing on Netflix since maybe Christmas time.  Go there maybe once a month for a dose of disappointment. That's pretty much done.

[Fishrrman]

<-- has never seen netflix, not even once.

Not just NetFlix. It is everybody.

Have watched 'Naked and Afraid' on Discovery for years. Consider myself to be a fan of the show and of many other 'semi-real' survival shows. The thought of transgender or homosexuality never crossed my mind although logically there must have been several homosexuals who participated in the challenges.

However, this season they have gone fully 'woke' and like everything else in America are shoving homosexuality and transgender down the throats of the audience. They don't just allow trans/queer people to participate, which is more or less fine with me. But then the whole show becomes about that, and I just don't care.

I will be the FIRST transgender to complete the challenge!
Me, as a gay man/woman, want to show what the homosexual community is capable of!

And I just do not care! They have changed the show this season into mild advocacy over simple entertainment.

(BTW) These days, it is rare to see a commercial without an interracial couple as the 'typical' American family. People watching American commercials overseas must think that America is at least 50% Black people and most of them are married to White spouses.

Long ago I noticed that of the couples house hunting on HGTV about a third were "partners" (the end of that cable channel for me).
