All the top talent they've acquired and money spent still can't save them from their complete garbage lineup of content they push out, all while limiting account access and raising prices.
- xeromal 3y agoPeople can call it garbage all they want. Their raised prices resulting in more revenue for them
- Uptrenda 3y agoI kind of agree with you. I feel like there's a narrow set of content there worth watching and when you get through it all it's just like: okay, now what? There's nothing else worth watching. I haven't been able to use my netflix account for months now. I just go to youtube now and subscribe to channels I like. Seems much more interesting than netflix. Currently following some interesting permaculture projects. I find the type of work these people do so useful and clever really.
- cqqxo4zV46cp 3y agoNetflix obviously since enjoyed a period of success. You may need to reconcile that with your overly negative portrayal of the situation which honestly seems more about your personal feelings about Netflix rather than more objective measures of success.
- kredd 3y agoYou call it garbage content, but every other person is somehow watching them. I’m probably not their target audience, but looking at my friend circles, those shows are definitely being consumed.
- FalconSensei 3y agoNot only being watched, but most desired. Like, people threatened to cancel netflix if they implemented password sharing but inevery country they implemented it, they actually grew on subscriber numbers..
- caballeto 3y agoNeflix revenue went from 4.3b in 2013 to 31b in 2022. Astounding success by any measure. That means they are doing something right, including their talent strategy. "garbage" is subjective. Neflix employees are likely paid bonuses on views / subscriptions generated, which from their revenues looks like they know how to hit.

- digging 3y ago> revenue went from 4.3b in 2013 to 31b in 2022 ... That means they are doing something right Yes. > including their talent strategy No. It only means they're doing one thing right: income > expenses. Beyond that, revenue tells us nothing about how they're increasing it.
- glow8 3y ago> It only means they're doing one thing right: income > expenses. Beyond that, revenue tells us nothing about how they're increasing it. That would be profit, not revenue. Still, in terms of profit they went from $25M to $4.5B.

- is_true 3y agoAt least in my country the have the best catalog for my family.
- excitom 3y agoUnlike the old days of broadcast TV when the networks had to produce shows that appealed to the broadest possible audience, Netflix can, and does, produce shows that appeal to a narrow demographic. This results in a sliver of shows that are highly appealing amidst a lot of stuff perceived as "garbage." But what a teenage boy thinks is garbage differs widely from what a retired grandma things is garbage. To each their own.
- stefan_ 3y agoIt's funny, all the top talent, all the blog posts, yet sorry to say as everyone has long learned, streaming platforms are utter commodity and were not an unique advantage at all. All made up. They were always just a nice wrapping paper around their content & licensing.
