I have an idea for Netflix: How about not putting ads up on content to try to compete with free streaming services, while overcharging for "ad free" subscriptions? How about not paying Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson 20 million dollars to make a crappy movie. You know he publicly stated that he pees in a bottle while working out. He doesn't have time to go to the restroom. He doesn't need 20 million, he needs counselling, and a few dollars for plastic bottles.
Also stop raising your subscription rates every year. We don't want to pay for The Rock's gold-plated pee bottles with the platinum cap. We don't! We really, really, don't.
Pay out for good quality content and you won't have free streaming services getting all of the many tons of movies and television shows - both the good and the bad, that have fan bases who will dump Netflix because Tubi TV has what you don't.
AND, stop making or contracting TV series that you cancel before they get a chance to get off the ground. It takes time to build a loyal fan base audience. Those that get instant high ratings that you renew, the next couple of seasons kind of suck because you rushed them into development.
There are several shows on HBO and Showtime that I want to see, but I do not subscribe to those cable services. I won't just for the one or two shows. I used to get mad when I had HBO because I often thought, "There is never any movie on here I want to see!"
I would never keep paying for Netflix all year long just so I can see the updates to The Witcher or Stranger Things when they *finally* come out. I'd sign up for 1 month and then binge, cancel, and cancel again (since you make it so hard to cancel).
Get a clue Netflix.
And, for the record, those of us who pay for 2 and 4 screens, if two people are logged in on separate devices watching different shows, that's not "password sharing", you foolish mortals. It is not. Pfft.
