likeā¦the entire point of netflix when it started was that you could log into one service and you could find thousands of different tv shows and movies in one place, for one price, AND you didnāt have to wait for several weeks to watch the conclusion of a tv show AND you didnāt have to worry about your favorite new show getting cancelled half-way through a season for lack of viewership.
and then every single other channel out there thought āhm. why are we using a third party site to do what WE could do ourselves?ā except not a single one of them had enough material in their libraries to do what netflix was doing. but they still pulled all their content out of netflix anyway and tried to do what netflix was doing. and then disney decided to do it as well, which⦠essentially just killed netflix.
but not only did they kill netflix, they just restarted cable! the whole point of a streaming service was being able to watch one show in one go, over a weekend or something. but bc these services donāt have enough material to keep people invested on paying every month, they have⦠toā¦. release shows one episode at a time, so that by the time one show ends they can roll out a new one and keep the subscriptions. which just? defeats the point?
and now weāre all just. back to torrenting one episode at a time, because nobody is paying for ācableā¦but on the internetā. all because capitalism breeds innovation
