This. One of the reasons I keep subscribing to Netflix is because every time I finish a show, it recommends a half-dozen similar ones for me to watch next. I usually like at least one, and I couldn’t care less when it originally aired or how popular it was.

Netflix had the right strategy. A few years ago when they announced they would be shifting towards original programming and away from licensed properties, I figured I would cancel because there was no way they could produce enough good stuff on their own to be worth $10 a month. Boy was I wrong. They’ve been killing…

You say “I had to search for it” as if this an arduous task. How long did it take to type “one day at a time” into the remote? Ten seconds?

Counterpoint: User preference algorithms will cut through the volume of content and allow your films to easily find their intended audience. My Netflix recommendation feed is filled with sci-fi movies and and nature documentaries because that’s what I like. The producers of these titles don’t have to worry about…

“AVClub has some weird agenda against Netflix not releasing numbers”

Seriously. The weekly episode model of television is a fucking relic of the 20th century. Created solely for practical reasons at a time when home recording and streaming video were still decades away from being invented.

Bunch of cultural luddites, man. Still clinging to the concept of the “water cooler show” as if this was still a thing anyone gave a fuck about in 2018.

If your friends are constantly spoiling shows for you, your friends are asshole and you should get better friends.

The traditional model of episodic TV was originally created purely because of technological limitations. Now that we have shed those limitations, there are luddites who continue to fearfully cling to this old scheduling model. As if “water cooler show” was still a concept that anyone actually still gave a fuck about…

No one is forcing you to binge these shows all at once as soon as they drop. If you’d rather watch one episode a week over 2 months, go ahead.

“Netflix wants to eventually be an entire medium unto itself, a parade of TV channels that usurps the need for the rest of TV altogether. But that’s not going to happen, at least not for a long time.”

It’s honestly still blowing my mind how comically-outdated the premise of this article is. The guy is talking about the viability of Netflix’s content strategy in the future tense, as if it was still a hypothetical. It’s a reality - Netflix’s strategy works and it is making them a goddamn fortune. The only question…

Netflix has already found an audience. They have more active subscribers today than the six largest cable TV providers in the U.S. combined, 50% subscriber growth over the last 5 years, and that growth has coincided with their shift toward original programming. All the “can Netflix’s programming strategy really work?”…

I love that the author of this article mocks the idea of Netflix becoming a major provider of original content even though this has already happened. Netflix has more active subscribers in the U.S. than the six largest cable TV providers combined. And this growth has coincided with its shift toward original content.…

Seriously. I’m making my way through all the Marvel Netflix series, all of which I enjoyed. Then I watched the first episode of Iron Fist and I’m like “this is terrible”. Called a friend who had seen everything including Defenders and he’s like “Yeah, Iron Fist doesn’t get much better, but it leads into Defenders so…

Seriously. Kinja is such dogshit. Why did they switch?

This article does not contain a single actual piece of data to support its assertion that Netflix’s crowded series release schedule is somehow self-cannibalizing and is turning off subscribers. It merely assumes that this is happening because “Hollywood has always done it the other way” even though these are…

Why does Kotaku devote so many articles to this guy? I had never even heard of him until his scandal became regular news fodder on this website, and I don’t see any other gaming or entertainment sites I frequent talk about him at all. Yet I see repeated articles about him filling the news feed here. What is Kotaku’s…

They already make that. It’s called “meth”.

Ok, bro. Try not to cut yourself on that edge.
