This is one of those features that people think they want, and would cost Netflix a ton of money, but would ultimately become filled with spam and would only have a small number of power users. It's a big money pit that does little to retain users and generate revenue. "More social" has been pitched to Spotify countless times and it would likely face a similar fate.
- jamiek88 4y agoYep just like all apples attempts. If iTunes can’t even leverage its install base (ubiquitous back then) to make Ping a success (remember Ping?! I was one of the dozens of active users) around music or Game Center social features around games then I don’t see why it’d be any different for video.
- JohnJamesRambo 4y agoWhy would that cost a ton of money?
- micromacrofoot 4y agowhy would building an entire social network cost a ton of money? it’s an entirely different product - dozens of features and content moderation just to get something simple out there…
- JohnJamesRambo 4y agoIdk doesn’t seem that hard honestly. Websites with much less resources do it all the time. I’m not asking for a Facebook clone I just want to be able to have friends and make lists for them and they make lists for me.
