I cancelled after the last jump. Why in 2022 do I need to buy the premium package for 4k.

Not sure about Apple TV, currently have it free and I'll likely cancel when that's up. Foundation was such a downer, I did like For All Man kind. But I eventually got tired of the alternate history story. The diversity of shows aren't enough there for me.
HBO max other than when movies drop during or after theatrical releases, I don't watch it much and thinking about cancelling.
I watch more Netflix and Prime, with HBO too. The cost is getting up there. Somethings got to give, way too many streaming service to sub to. It's getting close to cost of cable. lol

I have had HBO+ now for about a year and I think no other service can match it. Apple TV is close, but as far as exclusive shows and movie library, nothing touches HBO+ for me.
Disney + started strong, but even my kids barely fire it up anymore outside the occasional movie released on there. Also, Prime and Hulu have really gained in quality in the last three years.
Hell, even Paramount + is on its way up. The only service worse than Netflix, to me, is Starz. I had to get it for my mom to get a deal for some Outlander show, and it is pure trash.

Apple TV+ is worth every cent if you subscribe for 1-2 months, then peace out for half a year.

I split NF with my bro and he doesn't even care if I pay him half last few years.
I find most content on NF junk or not worth watching.
Call me crazy, but I think the best content on NF are documentaries. The type of shit you'd never see available on TV or can be purchased. Just random shit like Dirty Money or The Movies that Made Us, or the Delorean car company film. Not the type of stuff you'd ever pay money and watch in a theatre, but if it's on a sub plan, it's worth watching for 90 minutes.

Further consolidation in the streaming service is undoubtedly needed. No one is going to pay for ~5 services (whatever was predicted by analysts) at ~15-20 bucks a piece.
- Mindhunter season 1: compelling show with great story and characters, instant hit
- Mindhunter season 2: almost nothing that made season 1 great remains (after first few episodes), replaced with forced LGBT romance that takes up huge percentage of runtime and poorly fitting social justice storyline
- Altered Carbon season 1: compelling show with great story and characters, instant hit
- Altered Carbon season 2: showrunner Laeta Kalogridis fired and replaced with incompetent activist, writing team and cast also replaced, politically sanitized across every relevant dimension, now has zero redeeming qualities

I never watched MH, but heard good things about it when it came out. I tried watching AC for an episode or two when it came out and couldnt get into it.
But didnt know both got cancelled.

For those of you who like NF documentaries, here's some recos off the top of my head. Some better than others, but IMO none are dud. I kind of put it in order how I like them.
- FYRE (that resort concert scam)
- The Movies that Made Us
- The Toys that Made Us
- Dawn Wall
- Delorean (based on the car guy)
- A He-Man documentary (I think it shares some content with the Toy Made Us episode? I forget)
- China Factory
- Cocaine Cowboys
- Age of Samurai (I think a 6 part series. Part history/narration, but all shown using actors playing out the history. Tons of killing)
- Not sure if they are still there, but Planet Earth and their spinoffs like The Human Planet etc...
- Dirty Money
- Social Dilemma (has a fictitious family playing out what the people say, so it's kind of cheesy that way. I would had liked it more if it was purely industry people talking)
- Downfall (about Boeing)
- Last Blockbuster (not great, but more of a feel good episode)

I find there’s always something to watch on there, they make the best shows, period.
Russian Doll season two hits tomorrow and later this month the final season of Ozark is coming out. Nobody else has so much frequent content.
Sucks when they cancel stuff though.

I only have it because I let my mom use it and she watches a sh!t ton of Netflix otherwise I would have canceled it a long time ago. I'm on the hook.

dat 26% decline
This is actually the most surprising thing of this all. 30% crash is not a mere disappointment for incorrect consensus on quarterly report day, and that would be a 5-8% tumble.
30% is complete shock by an entirely unexpected event that shakes the core assumptions about the company.
With HBO Max, Amazion Prime, Apple TV+, Disney+ ane Paramounr+ entering the market with AAA content, it is shocking the market is shocked Netflix would decline.
On another note, I wonder how long the + branding lasts. I give it 5 years tops.
Reminds me of https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110216/

Repeatedly underwhelming IP with loyal fanbases doesn't help. Netflix Adaptations now have a reputation of being a joke. Cowboy Bebop, He-Man, Witcher S2.
Also completion, IMOO Amazon Prime have better consistency of good production lately. Disney also have their occasional must watch. So I don't just passively keep the sub to Netflix like I used to. I switch between subs from a month to another. no auto renew.

Go woke, go broke.
I unsubscribed at the end of last year, I was barely watching any original content (besides Korean stuff) because it was all filled with activist propaganda and felt like I shouldn't be financing it. I found a free site that streams almost all Korean shows in HD with no ads, so I just use that when I want to watch Korean stuff. I still have my dad's account info if I really want to see something on Netflix but 4 months into the year and I haven't used it, nor have I missed the service at all.
The constant price hikes didn't help either. It was like $7.99/month when i started and now $19.99/month for 4K.
I really loved the first season of Altered Carbon and was excited for the 2nd season despite the recasts of the leads because it made sense in the context of the show where people can change bodies like they do clothing, but then I read the unbiased reviews and said no thanks, my time is too precious to waste on this garbage.Netflix cancels Mindhunter, citing low watch numbers for season 2

Fucking hell. If there was ever a series that deserved another season, it's that one.
I thought the first season was weird, but intriguing. At the end of the second, I was like, "Oh shit, I can't wait to see where this goes."
Except it went into the bin.

Apple TV + is a mess. Only decent stuff from that service was severance and from all mankind! Apple tries too hard to be woke, it’s so on your face that it’s actually annoying and not meaningful.
But then again Netflix has a ton of stuff that is garbage!
This just shows that Netflix worked when it had everything on it and no competition.
Quite foretelling of what might happen with gaming services!
