I get the counter-arguments. However, in my view, the constant stream of evidence coming through that supports my take on this is a fact that is not easily and credibly discounted. |

https://www.digitaltveurope.com/2020...amount-launch/ I believe that Netflix always will be the leader in providing original content. They will never stop that, and I didn't say they would. However, there will be scope for reducing the number of originals they are producing once they are satisfied with the selection available. Context is important here, Chris. Harry was asking for ideas on how Netflix could save money. That is one. ---------- Post added at 13:32 ---------- Previous post was at 13:18 ---------- Quote:
After 5 or maybe even 10 years, I cannot see Netflix losing any sleep in allowing other providers to have access to selected material. They already do this actually, but I think there is far more scope to do so than they do now. The reason you would wish to subscribe to Netflix, obviously, is to view more recent material. Remember, The Simpsons pretty well defines Sky One, but they still allow other TV channels have the rights to screen the older programmes. That doesn't stop people from wanting Sky. ---------- Post added at 13:43 ---------- Previous post was at 13:32 ---------- Quote:
Look, I know other providers do this. They get a bit of stick for it as well, because they pay a subscription and then they have to pay more. In my view, these streamer service providers have got it wrong. They mix all the free and PPV material up together, which both confuses and disappoints people, leaving them disillusioned. Look how many people on these forums have complained about that very thing. However, if Netflix entered into PPV as an additional service, with the PPV material in a completely different area of the site, and advertised as a way that their subscribers could still watch material for which the rights were held by a different provider, this would raise the extra money without alienating those with a Netflix subscription. There is a lot to be said about having all your content in one place. I would have thought the PPV market was quite lucrative, but I don't have any figures to hand to be certain. ---------- Post added at 13:51 ---------- Previous post was at 13:43 ---------- Quote:
I have explained multiple times that it is the broadband coverage that I believe will be in a state that will enable the vast majority to be able to access the streamers by 2025. I still believe that the TV channels as they exist now will be pretty well dead by 2035. |
Re: Linear is old tech - on demand is the future
Why do you think Apple and Amazon *don’t* separate out their PPV content from the rest?
Annoying as it is, they do it because that’s how you get people to pay for it - by showing it in a list of stuff they’ve been looking for and tempting them to pay the extra just as a one-off. The substantial amount of bundled content is more than enough for most viewers; if the PPV stuff is hidden most of them won’t bother to look. Meanwhile I shall keep my counsel and indulge in a private chuckle at you admitting you find anything difficult to comprehend. ---------- Post added at 13:56 ---------- Previous post was at 13:54 ---------- Quote:
One day when I’m bored enough I dare say I’ll re-quote them again. For the time being, the quotes are not so far back in this thread for anyone interested in looking. |

You keep telling us Netflix is the leader in the amount of Original content when in fact many media companies produce far greater amounts of original content annually.
