Anecdotally the other streaming services have good stuff from time to time, but behaviorally they simply don’t compare to Netflix. My wife and I spend probably 80% our streaming time in Netflix just out of habit and the sheer amount of content.
Then, every few months hbo or Hulu comes out with a show we want to watch but then once it’s over we default back to Netflix. Again you can argue that the content is crap but people have demonstrated they prefer quantity over quality. The strategy is something like a hub and spoke. Create a handful of high budget shows that are spaced out to keep people interested then fill the rest with crap.
As an aside I’ve never paid for Netflix because we’ve had my wife’s account that’s linked to her parent’s for several years. It’s borderline ridiculous they’ve allowed password sharing as long as they have. If Netflix forced the account to be split we’d pay Without a second thought. I suspect most are like us despite all the cynicism.
I think once they start instituting that change alone the sub base will expand rapidly.
I’m very bullish on Netflix after this decline.
