Netflix here we go again.

Maybe not quite yet, but for some stats, the movie trailer on their youtube channel had 55k views at the start of the month, it now has over 1 million views and the movie is a global release. In legal speak, "Significant damages" is an understatement!

Damn I hope you destroy them and get a massive payday. Hate things like that

The one and only and now somewhat infamous "gif"! But they altered it to try to remove identifiers whilst forgetting the reflections LOL. So that's doubly bad too.

rinsed ? they were paying for their output on the never never

possibly they'll provide an option either £2.50 or non-defeatable adverts , article also from this week

Netflix and Microsoft team up for cheaper plan with adverts​

you learn to put up with the adds if the content is good enough (like some of all4 stuff)

 

[Spacedeck]

All the extra money will do is give individual accounts. Is this a forced payment that'll automatically be added, or something you opt in to? What's to stop people just sharing the password and ignoring additional accounts for the little extra ££?

You should not be watching dubbed anyway. Subbed is the only way to watch non English stuff.

If I wanted to read, I would read a book

Never has a dubbed version of something ever been good or done justice to the original language. You're just ruining your own experience really.

 

[Chojin]

I'm not a fan of Netflix anyway, but this seems like the equivalent of them looking down the back of the sofa for some cash.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Agree. You lose so much watching a dubbed version.
I always watch in original language with subtitles.

Damn! Hope you get a nice payday for that! Deserves a thread, when you can speak more openly about it.

Didn't they give out someones number recently and only give them a few grand?

 

[mrk]

Oh yeah that was in Squid Game:

The woman said it was impossible for her to change her number due to client contacts. She is reported to have rejected compensation offers of up to 5m won, though Netflix has not commented on the compensation claims.

The South Korean presidential candidate Huh Kyung-young made headlines last week when he offered 100m won on Facebook to buy the phone number.

But by Thursday the eight-digit number that appears in the first two episodes had been replaced with a six-digit version. When called, an automated response said: “The number you have dialled is not available.”

According to Google, 5m won is about £3100 - 100m won is £63k - Not a bad offer realy so wonder how much she got if she refused £3k for just a number error!

Interesting reading elsewhere though, make of it what you will but it's pretty clear what's going on

HIT NETFLIX CONTENT AND THE COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT THAT FOLLOWS

By: Baylee Carter From “Narcos” to “Stranger Things”, Netflix has produced binge-worthy content. With the many shows, movies, and documentaries that Netflix brings to viewers, there have been incre…

Just watched the trailer, didn't see it, 50m views tho. Have they doctored it perhaps? I feel like I should stop asking but Ima curious kitten

Did you watch the right movie's trailer? It's on a million views not 50m! The gif is in both movie and trailer btw.

Netflix loses a million subscribers in 4 months. Ouch that's gotta hurt.

Netflix loses almost a million subscribers

Season four of the hit series Stranger Things may have helped to stem the exodus of Netflix customers.

Cancelled my account a few days ago.

Too much on there, most of it rubbish. I don't spend any time watching it anymore.

 

[Glanza]

Got to keep revenue up to pump out the money they give Ryan Reynolds and Dwayne Johnson's films they produce.

Netflix haven't got a hope in hell of competing with Disney or Amazon long term.

They predicted a loss of 2mil subs with their price increases though, so they are in a "net benefit" overall from a profit perspective.

Remember they have 220million subs in total, so a loss of 1mil subs is a drop in the ocean if they increased their profit from the remaining 219mil subs by 20%

Not sure.

I don't know how much amazon care about it. Vs thier aws for example.
I think they are by far worse than Netflix. And worse than D+


There's a big audience for Disney. Parents with kids. But I'm disappointed with D+. Got a 6 months offer and nothing excites.


Only reason I took a break from Netflix is they ran out of content. This is thier problem. They can't produce enough content to keep perpetual subscribers.
No other service caters well for geeky stuff.

If its 5 pounds a month.. Yeah who cares ill leave it going.
If it's 15. I'm certainly going to cancel and rejoin.

Hbo, paramount plus? Not for me. I'll watch one show from them a year. So where do you go for that? I wonder.


The fragmentation will only hurt them all in the long run.
