Buy another 2 now (still less than what you put originally), it would average to 310 !

A lot of ink being spilled about Netflix in particular and the streaming universe in general . . .

At least it is entertainment.

It's shocking to see this. Especially when I find Netflix more user friendly and their original content is usually decent. What other services are more competitive than Netflix? Amazon and Disney is meh. Disneys uiux is garbage

Each streaming service is going to have to produce content in house and it's going to cost a shit-ton of money. The industry will shake out the pretenders from the contenders in time. It make take a decade, but we'll be down to a handful again.

Or it may take a few weeks. Wow.

CNN+ is a complete fuckup. They only launched on March 29, two weeks before CNN merged with Discovery, the new Discovery leadership had completely different plans but legally could not communicate them to the old team until the merger completed. All the CNN+ employees given the boot yesterday in complete shock, told by the incoming CNN CEO during a townhall meeting it wasn't their fault but basically piss off.

Apple+ has had good content lately: Severence, The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, Slow Horses, Roar, Pachinko, upcoming season of Tehran, Friday night MLB games, etc. I'm only keeping Netflix at the moment for Better Call Saul.

If Netflix made some imrpovements to their UI/X they might get people back.

Users only have the ability to add to a list, they don't allow you to select "not interested" and declutter the tiles so you can more easily find content you'll enjoy. There's tons of content overlooked because they're always trying to ram something down your throat. IDGAF about Abercrombie&Fitche's rise and fall!

They only allow a thumbs up and no 'dislike' option, they used to provide user ratings but got ride of that to give you a "XX% match" which is useless. Adding in an IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes rating would improve the service as well (but I guess they don't want this cause then you wouldn't watch the garbage a few times before realizing it's trash).

Also get all the content I've already watched off my screen, archive it automatically.

once theaters & Cinema's are fully up & running for sure streaming service will take a big hit!

projectors are also getting affordable to setup home theaters.
