You said that the reason people don't subscribe to Netflix alone is because the library has become so small and crap. Your thesis is incorrect.

Nobody ever only got their TV and movie entertainment from a single source.

If you pay attention to consumer sentiment with respect to video streaming services, you will know that the #1 thing streaming subscribers value is original and exclusive content first. https://www.fool.com/research/state-of-streaming/

No studio has a monopoly on exclusive and original content.



> Your thesis is incorrect.

How much Disney content is now on Netflix? Gotten smaller.

How much Paramount content is now on Netflix? Gotten smaller.

How much WB/HBO content is now on Netflix? Gotten smaller.

please, show me where my thesis is incorrect.

Netflix was the only streaming site which meant ever studio used them for streaming, plus they also had their shiny round disc service. Now, Netflix is claiming they want to get to 100% only their content which is just PR spin because nobody else will license them content. If you think they have more content now than they have in the past, you are sorely mistaken. Arguing the point just shows your lack of honesty.

I no nothing about the "poll" you link to other than they did not ask me. I don't care about exclusive content produced by the streaming platform. I care about the depth of the content available. The streaming platform fragmentation has pushed me away from caring about ANY of the platforms. Cutting the cord from cable providers was meant to be a cheaper solution than paying for the various cable packages. Now, there are so many streamers that must be paid for separately, they add up to the same as the old cable providers people were wanting to "rebel" against.

Nothing has changed for the consumer's wallet. It's just cutting out the cable middleman, and now going straight to the studios.

See how studios are increasingly licensing to. Netflix again. https://www.forbes.com/sites/bradadgate/2023/12/21/studios-a...


Look, I'll give you credits for trying since you don't know who I am, but suggesting I'm not paying attention to streaming clearly shows you know nothing Jon Snow about me or what I do.


Hi dylan. Can you tell me about your self and what you do so I and others can better contextualize your comments?
