  • You have to understand that streaming itself was NEVER going to make a profit.

    In all likelihood, Netflix spent more dough on producing their own series (not even movies lmao) than it ever brought in.

    This was the expected end game. “Invest upfront money” get your pick of the market, and then you can raise prices.

    For people coming from 100-200 usd cable invoices, when Netflix launched, 10 USD a month for a big catalog, that was great! 10 years later the catalog is not that big, and the prices are raising

    I think paramount and HBO are the only ones with actual revenue, because they already owned their content, they don’t need to make anything new. They are pretty mid tho, not like Netflix or Disney



  • I mean if you only saw and read Reddit during the last election campaign, you’d be ABSOLUTELY sure at the first half of the campaign that Biden was going to win, might as well don’t have an election at that point

    And then, after Kamala got into the campaign, again, if you only saw and read Reddit, you’d be, again, ABSOLUTELY sure that she would win, it wasn’t even a contest.

    If reality were downvotes, upvotes or massive bans to users posting against the thread zeitgeist, yeah sure, that would be what happened.

    Hard to accept reality after that harsh wakeup call
