I guess there is more money to made catering to teenagers, but I find your content lacking lately. Also, you appear to be catering to the Hallmark movie crowd with sappy, badly acted romance shows/movies. I think the deal with the Markles will blow up in your face as well. They are not capable of original and interesting content. She just copies other people and throws together a word salad of other people’s quotes/idea.

Congratulations on one of the most enjoyable and informative Ted Talks I’ve ever watched. Yes, I tend to eat far too much ice cream, but I’ve also enjoyed quite a bit of broccoli on Netflix too! I just wish we had the extensive choice of content on Australian Netflix that Americans enjoy.

I have been with NETFLIX since near the beginning. I love the convenience of sitting in my jammies at 3 AM, when I can’t sleep, and looking for movies on DVD and streaming. I am retired and this is one of my perks. I just wish you had THE BIG BANG THEORY. Because of Netflix, I canceled DirecTV and saved myself over $100 every month. I love it. your variety is excellent I see movies from foreign countries that never show here. THE WAY BACK, “Central Station” from Brazil is great stuff. Bergman and other great directors. Film Noir that I grew up watching Cagney and Bogie great stuff. Thank you. Please acquire the Big Bang Theory.

Dropped it years ago when their lineup turned to garbage after dropping a lot of good documentaries. Even before that I subconsciously noticed everything getting worse, which is probably why I only watched documentaries. Between all of my real life experience in science, medicine, driving/motorcycling, and firearms, most fiction can’t hold up, and their fanciful historical dramas are trite at best. History is not only stranger, but also more interesting and entertaining than their fiction.

Funny how everyone touts Reed as being this amazing business guru.
This is the same guy that tried to sell Netflix for .25 of a percent of it’s net worth.
Only reason it didn’t happen is that they turned him down.
Souheil
September 9, 2020 at 8:01 pm
… of its *current market cap* (it wasn’t 0.25% of its value at the time). Facebook also almost sold to Viacom for 0.26% of its *current market cap*. It was probably 100%+ its value at that time judging by the fact that Blockbuster and Viacom thought the deals were too pricy.
By your logic, every person who has ever sold real estate before the year 2000 is bad at business. Obviously, it would be more valuable now…

Souheil
September 9, 2020 at 11:13 pm
@Not J No. But that’s not the point you were making. If you’re judging his business acumen by what’s in the deck, then I can’t say anything because I haven’t read it.
I’m just saying that you can’t base the value of something the way you did. Hindsight is 20/20. If Blockbuster took the deal and dropped the ball with Netflix, you would have called him smart for cashing out early, like Mark Cuban with Broadcast.com. Businesses aren’t sure things.

Netflix drama production feeds off the social disintegration of collective ethics and moral cohesion – multiple divisions of consumer groups arising from this process that capitalism supports and promotes, multiply its income / profit streams just as corporate capitalism does by its division of consumer groups by marketing and economic lobbying campaigns into micro identified desires and the production of demand it organises; each stream of which is associated with those intersectionalised ‘ economic avatars known as consumers.
What it needs is an increasingly policed and monitored social space in order for its ‘diversity’ of conflicts to be contained together in mutual adversity.
One way or another corporate capital including companies with the global ambitions like Netflix, will go to any extremes to keep the lid on the pressure vessel of multiracial intersectional markets by disabling and censoring any and all people seeking human authenticity.

I admire Netflix/Hastings but the employment practices seem a bit brutal. They seem in-line with the tech stereotype of hiring young, grinding them for years, and then discarding them with a pat on the back. That said, it sounds like there is more honesty about that work environment than examples of companies giving a cute speech to the fired employee about “you’re graduating to greater experiences somewhere else”. (On a related note, Patty McCord didn’t seem entirely comfortable she left the company per an interview a few years ago. Maybe that has changed.) Maybe I’m wrong, maybe the employees do see themselves akin to elite athletes that get to be part of something big for a short time and then move on.
