I’m referring specifically to older content. Is there really a reason that Star Trek the Next Generation shouldn’t be in Netflix, for example? Paramount isn’t enough of an offer so they may be losing out on a great deal of passive income.
lol people keep saying this but it’s all bots and trolls when you go look over there
There will be something new and we’ll all become Gen Alpha’s boomers.
Being serious, however, who can predict? We’ll have to be patient and see what happens.
That model may also be dead. Nobody really sees movies anymore, not like before, and nobody wants to wait 6 months for the season to end. That’s very much a 1950s - 2010 model. Not sure what will replace it, but some combination of games and informal content like YouTube/TikTok etc might be where we end up.
That’s part of my point. They don’t have to lift a finger. Just let Netflix pay for the storage, the data centers, the bandwidth. Studios will get something out of it for doing literally nothing. But they got greedy and broke the model.
There’s probably a law that states when and how to bring a complaint and what the maximums are. Many states have such laws to put on limits. Those stories you hear about a jury awaiting hundreds of millions will usually be reduced by many orders of magnitude when the actual sentence/order is set.
See 10 years ago it was ALL in Netflix and everyone was happy. Studios got to get passive income and we only needed one service. Then the business bros got greedy and decided they needed more money and exclusivity while spending millions to stand up their own inferior services.
lol I was just yesterday saying that I fully expect these to fold and all the content to go back to Netflix where the studios can earn passive income with no more expense than paying their lawyers to write contracts.
The worst part is that people will vote him out and the next person will roll everything back. Everyone will be far worse off, however.
I think that we can take heart that all of this is in the public record now.
More and more it’s clear that they are in it in for the clicks and not the reporting.
There’s a used media shop down the street and I’m contemplating getting dvd/bluray box sets of my favorites so that I have offline media available.
I’m trying go back to ordering directly from merchants rather than use Amazon. You don’t always have a choice though.
It’s fun to watch people react and move on rather than stop and consider.
My prediction is that it all goes back to Netflix when they decide it’s not worth the time and expense to run their own services. They had a nice passive income thing going on there for many years and can have it again if they just license their IP again.
The point is that Amazon would help you out when your stuff was broken, missing, or mistaken. They won’t lift a finger to fix their own errors now.
People surely abused things and rather than take a measured approach, they brought out Thor’s hammer like a bunch of chuds.
Give it time and we’ll all be back on Netflix with all the catalogs available there.
You can’t be conservative and a decent person at three same time. Also glad you realized you were rude.
Yep. This is all a PR machine like what W had.
