Not OP, but yeah the market has clearly changed. Everything we consume today and media in general has been fractured, organized into subcategories, and is now delivered by algorithms.
I my opinion the problem isn't that there is no demand for black-focused media, its that its just become another subcategory of Netflix. And because it may not be as popular on Netflix it doesn't get as much production. Look at what Netflix is producing these days - its mostly lowest common denominator algorithm driven garbage.
- gunshai 5y agoBut why would it not be as popular on netflix, amazon, hulu, ect?
- imbnwa 5y agoAmazon actually produces the highest quality Black content consistently: Underground Railroad, One Night in Miami, Homecoming, Life, etc

- dmix 5y agoMuch like Reddit which hits lowest common denominator in all the big subs you have to dig for the quality stuff. And hope it gives you similar stuff, but I’ve found that harder on both Netflix and Reddit the bigger they got. But it’s still possible. Twitter on the other hand seems to do everything possible to push you away from your niches and selected content, even though the whole idea is to follow people.
- pseudo0 5y agoYeah, at various points I've seen promoted categories for black created/focused content pop up on Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime, etc. It's going to be tough for a new service to compete with the substantial existing libraries of those streaming services. They already have the content and the audience, and just have to tweak their recommender to promote it more effectively.
