it's amazing that they think people are going to continue to pay them at these prices for no content

Every time Netflix changes anything, people freak out and say they're gonna lose all their subscribers.

And every time, Netflix makes more money than before, because they have awesome data analysis and have a very good idea of how many subscribers will leave and how much more money they'll make from the remainder.

I remember when they lost like 4% of their subscribers a few years back and everyone was all doom and gloom, but they'd raised their rates like 15%

Eventually they'll figure if they can get one person to pay 10 billion dollars a month, they can lose all their other subscribers and still hit their quarterly goals.

Until the shareholders demand more.

Yeah, Elon might be dumb enough.

That's essentially what the Twitter board did.

Exactly. No one I know cancelled. They just had to buy separate accounts while complaining.

[-] vithigar@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

I'm the only person I know who cancelled. Like you said everyone else just complains about it.

Yeah, this is exactly like the Reddit and Twitter situation. No matter how bad it gets, people don’t care. If they’re used to something, they’ll rather put up with the new bad stuff than changing their habits.

I keep hearing people say this no content thing. Meanwhile I just went through Castlevania, one piece, sweet tooth and Kingdom this past week and there's like 30 shows and movies on my cue
