Honestly that would be awesome if the studios were forced to make their content all available on Netflix again like they used to.
Netflix is o ly really problematic because the studios all had $$$ signs in their eyes and pulled their stuff to make their own streaming service. I was perfectly happy paying Netflix every month. But I'm not paying Amazon, Disney, Apple, Hulu and whoknowsehatelse on top of Netflix.
- johnnyanmac 3y agowould it be? Then it'd just be netflix calling all the shots, controlling what is and isn't on TV, and free to price gouge as they have already been doing with the rest of them. It'd be Youtube all over again. Ask Youtube content creators how they are treated by Google. We have a story here today of someone uploading public domain content, being struck by copyright claims, reinstated, and then hit by a different company within 24 hours.
- tharkun__ 3y agoIf Netflix was basically just the broadcaster like say a movie theater but streaming online I do think it would be OK yes. Maybe have another broadcaster or two but not actually hide content behind 7 different ones with a completely non overlapping set of exclusive content so that I have to subscribe to all of them. It's better than the "studios" controlling everything. Think Paramount ruling: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_P.... Basically we need a paramount ruling for streaming. Instead of what they are actually currently doing which is to revert it.
- matwood 3y agoI doubt it will go back to Netflix, but we'll see Netflix plus a couple other big players.
