All the things I hate about Netflix

[iamwhatiseem]

Of all the ways to bring entertainment into the home, I prefer Comcast (Xfinity) Cable because it has an excellent interface which allows you to control your TV, cable box, and over 20 different streaming services which include Netflix, Prime, Hulu, HBOMax, Diseney+, etc. When you want to search for a movie or series, you don't have know where it's housed. You just press the voice button on your Comcast remote and say the name of the movie or series, and it will search through all the comcast channel offerings current and future, your DVR, Netflix, Prime, Hulu, and dozens of other streaming services and present you with watch options and best of all you can select the source and you never need to go to your computer or login to the service.

Roku has been doing that for over 10 years... more like 15 probably.
I have had a Roku forever. Nothing beats it's interface and speed.
Just sayin

Netflix, once the God of streaming services, is in a fight for survival.
They dominated the market almost exclusively.
But then owners of production began limiting and finally cutting Netflix out of their content.
Over the past 2 or 3 years, Netflix has lost well over half of it's most popular content due to those owners starting their own streaming channel.
That is what sucks.
Today streaming TV is basically the same as cable TV. In order to see content you want - you have to subscribe to a bunch of channels you don't really want. Providers have turned the tables on streamers. I said this was going to happen at least 5 years ago.
So a part of what you are griping about is just Netflix trying to get people to watch content that can't be taken away from them.
I use to watch Netflix almost exclusively. They had everything. Now, I barely watch it at all. They lost virtually everything I use to watch.

A model, each producer with their own stream service, in my opinion doomed to fail.

Take Star Trek.
2 shows stream on CBS and no where else.
Access 10/mo
and
Star Wars on disney $15/mo
AND
Now NBC, Paramount, etc, etc...

Netflix + HULU + Amazon Prime + CBS + DISNEY + NBC + Paramount + + +

At some point the share spreads so thin that it becomes impossible to cover costs.

NETFLIX, HULU, Amazon, and maybe Disney have the breadth to survive. The others...will go to HULU or NETFLIX and partner up.

One can hope.
Right now it is terrible.
As mentioned in another similar thread, I use to pirate movies on torrent often. I wanted to be legal... and as soon as good services like VUDU etc. became available - I stopped pirating. And went several years without doing so. I don't have a problem with paying $4-$5 to watch a movie I want to see.
But now... you have all of what I call "Exclusive marketing"... example "News of the World". It was only available on Apple TV. Screw that, I am no paying for a channel I don't want.
So I pirated it. And paid nothing.
Movie piracy was rampant 10 years ago. It faded fast with rent services, because most people do want to be legal.
This exclusivity shit is going to cost them... piracy is back up according to NY Post and others.
They are going to screw themselves once again with their greedy cash grabbing

Are you my conscience????

Just everything you said is not only correct, done it myself.

Remember when the music industry was so hot on this? I said back then that the pirate model was price based. The higher the price, the lower sales which lowers revenues despite the higher prices. You can't defeat the pirates. The solution is to set a price low enough that a typical user won't bother to pirate. At the right price the next group, the REAL pirates who won't pay not matter the cost will be minimized. Leave the customers and potential customers alone and focus the effort on those pirating and reselling the product.

But they still find it necessary to chase down some 13 yo kid in Ohio over a few dozen songs on her cell.

How can someone pirate movies from a streaming services? They are either free with the service or you buy/rent them with a credit card.

You pirate using torrents and a VPN (at least you should be using a VPN)
Torrent sights like Pirates Bay have full HD screen movies usually before they even appear in theaters.

Exactly.
Many years ago Steve Jobs told the music industry this very thing. And they finally listened. And it revolutionized how people listen/buy music. Streaming services like VUDU, Fandango etc. essentially did the same thing for movies. By only charging $4 to rent new releases... pirates stopped pirating. By 2020, pirating was pretty much over with except for the pirates who won't pay no matter what.
But that has changed. In the past year this "exclusive marketing" bullshit where only ONE source has the movie, and you can't rent it anywhere else unless you pay $15. So... the reaction is clear. Pirating is back up. And it is their own damn fault.

I'm sorry your question is unclear.
Are you asking a technical question or
Are you asking an ethical question?

technical

Don't need to hack the streaming services.
The hackers will take content underground and serve it from there.
Remember, in the scenario, the services have priced themselves such that regular people will be willing to steal.
So the streaming services and hackers are competing, at this point, for the same base but the Hacker price is "free."

YouTube is free. There's news, entertainment, how-to handyman, everything free of charge assuming ypu have internet. People just gotta have a pay-per-view cable channel, as if porn were so difficult to find on the internet.

I think you nailed. If you are as old as I am, you probably remember the days when all we had was a few TV channels. Oh, how we yearned for more choices. Thus began a 50 year journey to give the viewer everything they could possibly want. Today, they have it but how can they find it?

I use the same screen for both cable, and the internet. Sitting in front of me, I have a TV remote, a cable remote, and of course my pc mouse and keyboard. Last night I searched through Google, streaming services, cable, and the internet to decide on what to watch. After about 2 hours, it was time for the 10:00 news and couple hours of reading, thus ending my evening. It seems that is happening more and more theses days.

Comcast Cable (Xfinity) search capability includes Netflix, Prime, Hulu, Disney+, HBO Max and few other streaming services. This morning I picked up my Comcast remote and said Outlaw Josey Wales". It displayed Watch Options which included Netflix, Warner Bros, Paramount, and Comcast. Since I wasn't interested in watching today, I selected the Comcast channel and record.

There is a growing need for a service that indexes all streaming service's content so the viewer can quickly browse and search to find the desired content. Comcast does a pretty good job but they only search a few of the streaming services.

I use Roku so it searches everything I have installed on it with one search.
And yes I am old enough to remember all you had was 3 stations, and they all went off at midnight. Except Saturday, I think they went off 2am maybe.
And the only TV we had was a Blk/White till I was maybe 5

Love ROKU. Did you see "Most Dangerous Game"?

When the pandemic dragged on on release dates were pushed back, I wondered if IMDB would have user reviews for No Time to Die and Top Gun: Maverick on it before the movie is released.

YouTube is free. There's news, entertainment, how-to handyman, everything free of charge assuming ypu have internet. People just gotta have a pay-per-view cable channel, as if porn were so difficult to find on the internet.

It's surprising how many free movies are on YouTube. Most of them have expired copywrites. Many films made prior to 1950, are in public domain because the studios never bothered to renew their copywrite since they had little value after being distributed to the theaters a couple of times . Unfortunately, since these films had little value, the studios didn't bother to archive them properly or just destroyed or lost them. As a result we lost 50% of the films made before 1950 and 90% of the silent films.

I found on YouTube the movie "The Enemy Below" 1957 staring Robert Mitchum and Kurt Jurgens which in my opinion is one of the best submarine movies made. Here is a link to the complete movie. To watch it, click Watch on YouTube.



There are a lot of interesting things about this movie. It is consistently rated as one of the10 best war movies of all time, yet it's in public domain. It had limited distribution and financial information is not available. The story is based on book which was best seller and the plot has been used a number of times in other movies and TV. Robert Mitcham considered it one of his best movies. It had 3 Oscar nominations and won one. Curd Jürgens (who played the German submarine commander, said: "This was an important picture for me because it was the first film after the war in which a German officer was not interpreted as a freak." It is rarely seen on cable and is not available on Netflix, Prime, or Hulu.

"The Studios."
Yup, there's a crime cartel, the Copyright Cártel is at it again, holding up moviegoers at the ticket booth, grabbing our guns, accepting donations from VIPs to revoke the gun rights of commoners in America.

Of all the ways to bring entertainment into the home, I prefer Comcast (Xfinity) Cable because it has an excellent interface which allows you to control your TV, cable box, and over 20 different streaming services which include Netflix, Prime, Hulu, HBOMax, Diseney+, etc. When you want to search for a movie or series, you don't have know where it's housed. You just press the voice button on your Comcast remote and say the name of the movie or series, and it will search through all the comcast channel offerings current and future, your DVR, Netflix, Prime, Hulu, and dozens of other streaming services and present you with watch options and best of all you can select the source and you never need to go to your computer or login to the service.

Roku has been doing that for over 10 years... more like 15 probably.
I have had a Roku forever. Nothing beats it's interface and speed.
Just sayin

Do you pay a monthly fee?

No, Roku is a device with software that let's you put all of your streaming apps on it. And it also comes with a load of free apps as well. And it is able to search all of those apps for whatever you are searching for at the same time.
It is blazing fast compared to the software that comes on a SmartTV that is slow and clunky.
It has voice search, obviously 4K compatable and you can also plug in USB sticks for videos/movies.

Yeah, I cancelled Netflix when they hosted that garbage movie cuties. I was already getting close to cancelling, because my Wii had stopped supporting them, and I had to get a Roku. . . and after that, I found I was watching as much free content on the Roku, as Netflix. . . so why bother paying for content?

I watch so little, and I can always find something on YouTube or Roku if I am in a mind to watch some movies or TEE VEE.

 

[MisterBeale]

Just found this gem on my Roku a few days ago. . . that was nice. True story, filmed on location, and the extras in the movie were actual folks that lived the story.

 

[Flash]

I have been a subscriber to Netflix since they were a DVD subscription service so I think I'm pretty knowledgeable of their service. Granted there is good stuff but there's a ton of real mediocre material and the interface is terrible.

1. The interface on Netflix leaves a lot to be desired. Every new session with Netflix begins with an ad for one of their productions. Every time you sign on the categories are different or arrange differently. The items you are currently watching may appear first or last. Their clear intent is to persuade their audience to watch their original content because they own it and second rate material because of it's low cost.

2. Their algorithm for recommending videos really sucks. I consistently select like or dislike when I watch a video, however my preferences seem to have no effect on what they recommend. I think they use like/dislike just to determine how long they keep the video.

3. I don't think they have upgraded their search feature since it was introduced. There is no voice recognition so you have get the spelling just right. Searches never really fail. When they don't have the item you are looking for it still show up in the list and if you select it, it shows items that are not even close to what you're looking. I suspect this is just another way of directing subscribers to material they select.

4. A big part of Netflix's business model is being an international subscription streaming service that services all cultures and nationalities. That's fine but there should be a way of filtering material that you have no interest in. In general I like American movies made for the US marketplace and I really hate reading subtitles. Often I have to start the video to find this out. Again the purpose is to persuade audiences to watch certain material.

5. I can find no effective way of restricting content. When we have the grandkids over I would like to limit their choices. The only way I have found to doing that is to discover all the objectional material and protect it with a pin number.

6. Although there are some really high quality Netflix original series and movies, most are not that good. In fact, I would say most Netflix originals would never make it to the screen if audiences had to pay per view. Often the Netflix originals are offbeat productions starting people you never heard of. Many of these videos were sold to Netflix because they were cheap. If a production is written and filmed by the director with only a few actors with limited experience playing in scenes shot on streets, backyards, and in living rooms, how expense can it be.

7. Unlike TV where there is new season every year, a Netflix session is indefinite. There can be a new session every 6 months, every 2 years, or never. Thus there is rarely a session finally. So many Netflix series, never wrap up. Audiences are left wondering. Even worst, Netflix may purchase only selected TV season from the network. Worst of all the there is no firm policy on discontinuing anything. You may start a series or movie, go on vacation, and return to find it gone.

Let me add a couple of other things:

8. Too much damn diversity. Everything is Negro nowadays. Disgusting.

9. They stop letting you rate the shows so you really have no idea if it good or not before watching it.

 

[Flopper]

I cant remember the last time I watched something on it. The wife always finds something she likes but the choice is a bit limited and the interface is hard work. I think they might struggle when the cinemas get back in full swing.

Having said that there are too many of these services and some consolidation would be good. It can work out expensive to have them all.

Netflix's audience is young. I would say late teens to the late 20's. I'm just a bit beyond teenage angst. I think Prime has better material for adult audiences. However, there is some really good material for older adults on Netflix such as Our Planet, The Crown, Poldark, Faulty Towers, The Universe,...

​

 

[Flopper]

You probably have a bigger choice in the States than we have here. We have 5 terrestial channels which are free. they all have streaming services of which only the BBC is ever used. The others show programmes with adverts in and you cant skip the ads.

Then we have prime,netflix, britbox, disney and a few more obscure ones. These all require a fee but the quality is variable. \disney for example - I believe that they just show the wretched superhero movies which I wouldnt give tuppence for. But they will be showing Welcome to Wrexham next year which is about my football club. I actually like prime as they seem to have the MGM back catalogue on there. But I despise bezos and grudge giving him a penny of my money.

What I would like is a decent westerns or classic movies channel so that I dont get bogged down in superhero movies or films about idiots who get drunk in vegas and get wanker tattoed on their forehead.

We have the Sony and Paramount channels but they are extensively padded out with cheap reality crap to fill the schedules.

I probably watch more on youtube and BBC iplayer than on any of the subscription services.That is probably my age though.

I'm a fan of older movies and older quality TV productions. What I can't find is older Masterpiece Theater productions, many of which are British productions, such as Upstairs Downstairs, The Forsyte Saga, The First Churchills, Dutches of Duke Street, Vanity Fair (1972), Mayor of Casterbridge, ect,...... Andy ideas?

I watched this last year. The channel was Daisy Mason and she had a load of stuff of similar vintage. If you havent seen this one give it a go. All the elements in it were still present when I was growing up in the 60s. My Grandprents were riveted to it. Must see TV. Stanley Baker from "Zulu" takes the lead.
