Netflix is going to kill their golden goose. It's already dying slowly, but they really should be just taking more risks. It's a streaming company run by people who seem to hate movies or tv.

I don't think their first-party content ever was a golden goose, I feel like it has always been their way to pad space between the good shows they bought from others.

Their golden goose was being the first to do streaming well. They just need to fund films and TV shows and then back them for longer than a season. The SV style thinking is what's killing potentially good shows.

>>gonzo4+(OP)
Netflix’s own produced content is the poison that’s killing Netflix’s value proposition, not its golden goose.

It’s the reason I, and others I know, unsubscribed. Over time it edged out all the movies I actually wanted to watch simply because it makes them more money. But making them more money doesn’t entertain me so I unsubscribed.

>>gonzo4+(OP)
People have predicted that for years, but so far it looks like Netflix is still one of the few that manage to do streaming profitably.

Turns out that catering to dumb consumer zombies is still a safe bet.
