Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Gosh, how strange to find a website observing that streaming service menus are not, in fact, the cornucopia of utopia, and actually tend to overwhelm consumers. I wonder what sets Forbes.com apart from all the digital marketing blogs we’re accustomed to seeing linked in this thread.

They’re not trying to sell something?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Who knows what the most streamed show was? As yet the streamers don't publish viewing figures.

As I've said countless times before there's nothing special about streaming as a technology that exempts it from the same principles as any other manufacturer/service provider/retailer. More competition = bad news for incumbents. It can drive up supply side costs and down revenues (therefore profits). Lots of debt relative to competitors = bad news. They can sell an equivalent product to you at lower cost as they don't have to service the debt. Few assets = bad news. Creditors potentially less likely to tolerate ongoing debt. ---------- Post added at 19:39 ---------- Previous post was at 19:35 ---------- Quote:

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Twitter suggests our North American cousins are upset over Friends being taken off Netflix. I wonder if there was any on screen indication that there was a “last chance” window? Someone seems upset to be on Season 6 and now can’t watch it.
Not ideal customer service if, as we know, this is just the beginning. |

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Couple of interesting articles on Netflix. I'm loathed to use the first one because it uses an online survey for one set of data. However the Bank of America commissioned data is interesting - while Netflix appears to hold up reasonably well, with a diminishing library of known quality content and further streamers ready to enter the market it'd be worrying if the situation repeated itself every time in light of new competition.
https://www.investors.com/news/disne...s-dump-rivals/ And this one:- https://seekingalpha.com/article/431...ng-real-threat This article raises the interesting idea that Netflix is already at, or near, it's peak. As I've said before - the pay-tv market (which streaming belongs to) has a reasonably fixed size. The collective pie only gets bigger for everyone if they introduce 'new' customers - where are they coming from? Netflix, Amazon and Now TV have undoubtedly introduced new customers at lower price points. However once you aggregate three or four streamers you are into Sky/Virgin/BT pricing territory - essentially trying to sell to those who have rejected pay-tv options already. |

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
It's great that Disney+ is fairly cheap and also has full 4K UHD content. Where as to get the same content on Netflix is around 12.99 a month.
