Since picking up an Apple TV, my Netflix consumption is down to zero. Everything else is right there in the main UI, and it provides zero incentive for me to open their app.
At least from my perspective, Netflix really dropped the ball on this decision.
- caf 5y agoI believe this is helping illustrate why Netflix made this decision. Sure, right now they'll lose a few people like you who cbf switching apps to see what's on Netflix - but they're banking that there's a lot more who will resign themselves to switching apps for the show they want, because they're used to finding their Netflix shows in the Netflix app anyway. Whereas if they join TV App, they'll be training their users to find their content in TV App - which gives Apple a lot of leverage. Now a threat to kick them out of TV App has teeth - because there will be a lot more users like you, who've grown accustomed to finding their Netflix shows in TV App, and won't know to go switching apps to find it. They don't want to hand Apple a club to beat them with.
