  • The quality of writing/content
  • Pumping anything and everything out leading to dropping shows
  • the loss of some providers and franchises
  • the tactics around sign in and users
  • streaming quality
  • adverts

These were standard and they compromised…unless pay more. They are still making money. They can still afford to employ talent and pay wages. They can still choose to be fair to their employees and customers. But no. Give less, remove features, raise prices is the approach they repeatedly take.

If I bought a dvd its didn’t come with a ban on sharing it. They have conditioned lots to think this is acceptable. It’s not you are the customer. You give them money and it’s still not enough for them.

Netflix doesn't really control the content that other creators allow on their service, so point 3 is moot

They kind of did though. When Netflix decided to produce their own content, studios understood that Netflix would prioritize it's own content in the algorithm so they all scrambled to make their own platforms.

If Netflix had been content staying a distributor, we'd all still have everything available all on the one app.
