    I really love that Netflix is pouring as much into its standup as it is. There's some good stuff and it's helped me discover or deepen my appreciation for a lot of comics.
    Same here.

    The HD price is comparable to other streaming services. Amazon Prime/Video is $10.99 a month and Hulu Plus (or whatever its called) is around the same amount.

    You can't compare it to Amazon. Amazon offers like 37 other things with that price. (Unless there's a video only option that they offer but that doesn't sound correct)

    They offered standalone video a year and a half ago for $8.99/mo. But you're right -- full Prime is $10.99/mo.

    http://variety.com/2016/digital/news...ly-1201755340/

    ETA: ha, if you cancel Prime, they offer a free month of streaming and $8.99/mo for video only.

    I feel like Netflix saw this coming, and that's why they're producing so much content, so they have an entire library ready for viewing.

    Do they really make that much of a profit, though? Bright alone has a $100 million dollar budget and it's not screening in theaters. Plus it doesn't help that they're going up against brand names like Marvel, Star Wars and The Simpsons. Netflix's biggest name is Stranger Things and even that might be on for only two more seasons.

    I asked that same question in another thread that I can't find now. Netflix will be forced to pay StarZ or somebody to get their catalog back up.

    Even now, it doesn't look good for Netflix. At least Amazon Prime I can rent any movie I want for $1-$5.

    You guys might be underestimating how many people use Netflix. I think they'll be fine as long as they keep making original content.

    We know how popular Netflix is today. This chart won't stay like this when all Marvel and Pixar stuff is gone. I would love to know the stats of how many parents put on Pixar movies for their kids and walk away.

    My bet is that the percentage of Netflix subscribers who subscribe primarily for Marvel and Disney stuff is very, very, very, very, very, very, very small.

    Fucking Fuller House is more watched than any of the Defenders shows.

    Their most popular show of the year is Ozark. Like, who the hell is talking about Ozark?

    People like to compare Netflix to HBO but I'm thinking it's becoming more like CBS, where it's got these shows nobody particularly cares about but somehow absolutely dominate American eyeballs.

    Yeah. Netflix still doesn't like releasing their in-house analytics, but a lot of third parties do their own number crunching. Here's one for 2016:

    A fraction of parents than hand them the remote with youtube. If the kids are into a movie we buy it. I think you're overestimating Disney for existing stuff that most people have already bought for their kids. Moving forward may be a different story, but we'll see the growth.

    If Netflix switches to totally original content, I would cancel in a millisecond. But if it operates as quasi distributor of movies that will never get a release here in Korea (e.g., The Bad Batch) it has a reason to exist for me. Korea Netflix has no Star Wars or Marvel movies at all already...,

    That's another point, sometimes it's weird talking about Netflix to people online because it has completely different libraries in each region.

    Yeah. Seinfeld pulled Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee from practically everywhere (the last seasons I can't even find on torrent sites) because it's moving to Netflix... well, not to my Netflix it isn't.

    I envision this becoming true. Stranger Things gets all the press, but there is just a plethora of innocuous documentaries, food shows, comedy specials and other niche programming that probably perform really well on that platform. Netflix may already be losing its appeal to serious "cinephiles" but that may not be a segment they need to worry about as much anymore. I expect them to keep churning out original content, not so much to bolster their library, but just to keep the brand at the forefront of the cultural consciousness. They can waste money on tons of crap, but as long as a handful of projects results in a consistent stream of social media impressions, online think pieces, etc., they're probably satisfied.
