I struggle to see Netflix existing in its current form in 5 years. Their content is just awful, and the continuous price hikes just aren't justified. If they also start cracking down on shared accounts, I can only see it hastening their demise.
- gt565k 6y agoHuh? Their content is far better than any of their competitors. I have no idea what you're talking about. They've been pumping out amazing original series and movies.
- seneca 6y agoGoing to have to respectfully disagree. There's no accounting for taste, but I haven't made it through a full episode of a Netflix original since House of Cards, barring series they bought and labeled originals. I consider their original content very bottom of the barrel.

- Mindwipe 6y agoThis was a popular sentiment when they started blocking VPNs on Hacker News. A lot of money to be made betting against it.
- seneca 6y agoYes, very fair statement. I don't think they were really under strong competitive pressure until somewhat recently though. You can get away with quite a lot when you're the only game in town. Less so when Disney are your competition.
