When will the greed stop? At what point will these corporations realize that the average American is completely stretched thin financially and will have to cease unnecessary expenses? They’re all just shooting themselves in the foot.
It will stop when our species exterminates itself out of greed.
Climate change will probably only thin our numbers by the billions as a result of of the owner’s greed, but then they want to profit off AI, and CRISPR, and innumerable other potentially profitable means to our self-extinction.
The greed will stop when all the humans are dead almost certainly by our own hands, and humans are actively working to accomplish this.
As consolidation continues corporations do not need to compete on prices as there are no alternatives. Yes people will pirate but they’ve already lobbied vendors to embrace DRM and governments to make it illegal so that makes it as annoying as possible.
Are we reading the same thing? Netflix has more competition now than it ever has. When Netflix had cheaper prices when it has no competition than it does now. Piracy has been making a huge resurgence as well.
“More competition” meaning less access, people having to pay for multiple different services instead of having it in one place.
The competition should be about having the best platform, not exclusive content. There’s no reason why the same show couldn’t be on two different platforms. And available globally. Practically, all you really need is more local servers for where there’s more traffic.
When Netflix started they entered the market as a licensor of content from studios to be distributed as part of a streaming service.
This possibility largely no longer exists. All of the studios have bought out competition, stopped licensing a lot of their popular content, and now release their content themselves. This means there is little competition in the film distribution market for streaming, beyond PayPerView.
As long as people pay for it and they make massive profits through it.
I mean, look at the last situation in which netflix addressed account sharing. Their user number actually increased because of it from what I have read.
Those people that can’t afford it will most likely switch to a less expensive tier and then probably see ads. I have seen that recently with my father who wasn’t even bothered or annoyed by the constant ads while watching a single episode.
I don’t understand how people are ok with ads? They annoy me so much. It’s wasting your time so it can attempt to manipulate you into buying stuff with the money you can’t afford to spend.
We keep saying this but they keep profiting more and more every time lol. Remember when everyone on reddit was gonna quit Netflix for the password sharing block? Ya, their users increased afterwards.

Oh you sweet summer child…
America is founded on greed and power, it’ll never stop.

When enough people cancel. Keep paying, they’ll keep raising the price.

To be fair, we only have their word for how many subscribers they have.
If Netflix is out right lying, I’m sure stockholders would be happy and not tank the stock at all
As long as they are profitable, and the stock price is up, the stockholders wouldn’t even question their user numbers.
Lol no, stockholders wouldn’t want to risk the fallout of Netflix being caught
They’ll stop if everyone sailed the high seas.
