    I hate Netflix as much as you guys do and I think their content is dogshit, but you’re naive if you think they’re going under any time soon. Their revenue increased from the password sharing ban crap, and it’s likely only like 1% of people used the 720p plan anyway. Netflix is ass but financially they’re chillin.

        They have a ton of reality tv dogshit content that a ton of female subscribers love lol. Personally i hate it but i bet all of our gfs/wives love that shit. Unfortunately you should expect all of the streaming platforms to lean into that bullshit, especially with the writers strike. It will be interesting to see how many people cancel their plans once all of the good shows dry up due to the strike. We are going to be in a content desert for like 2 years at least.

        Edit: lol why the actual fuck was I down voted? For criticizing Netflix? Huh??

          I’d say a great time to catch up on older shows, but I know that’s both not popular and for some reason streaming services are removing older shows.

            Netflix has some GREAT older shows. The problem is I have already watched most of them. The good thing is that I probably will watch many again (and again) every so often. They do still trickle in some new content worth watching. The very best thing about netflix and the reason I really hope they stick around is that the interface and presentation is totally USER oriented. Subtitles and skip intro/recap are top-notch (compare with amazon :/) and there are ZERO ads before/after/within the content. When I am already paying $, I hate being blasted with ads for other shows but it really burns my biscuits when I can’t skip that crap!

            Why are people upset with that comment? A lot of girls and women watch reality TV. I thought that was obvious…Reality TV’s main target audience is females. I’m not trying to be disrespectful or anything lol. It’s just an objective fact.

      And what is the price? I think it’s like $16 CAD a month or so? So the price of a movie ticket and not even enough for a small popcorn. I find it a bit overreacting that people act like that’s way too expensive for what you get out of it. Used to be that I’d spend way more than that for a TV show season on DVD that I’d finish in a week.

      I’m not saying this is a good move. But the folks vowing to only ever pirate because a month of content costs about as much as my local hourly min wage seems a bit much.
