Netflix is what you put on while you are doing other things. That’s not a criticism, really, that’s their product focus

I had been a Netflix subscriber since the days of DVDs by mail and finally cancelled last month. It’s not worth +$20/mo for casual viewing. And they have a bad track record of cancelling shows I actually liked and promoting hallmark quality programs instead.

I don’t think much needs to be said about movie theaters. When most shows are remakes, sequels, superhero movies or other franchises, it’s all so tired.

So sure, movie theaters might be dead, but they share a grave with Netflix.

The word for this is enshittification

The service has become increasingly poor and the prices climb. This is the phase of Netflix’s lifecycle where all the value is being extracted from the customers and given to the shareholders.

They hiked us up to $25/mo only to nag me every time I launched it that I can’t let my brother use one of the four device entitlements that I am paying for.

Top dollar hostility for second run movies, cancelled series, and AI driven true crime slop.
