I wonder if their expensive consultants come from a little company called BCG? You're right, probably nothing.... (820)

Thankfully they don't have a useless CEO and Founder who fails to be profitable even during Q4 sales. (263)

Goodbye, Netflix. (2875)

So you will drop them just for adding the option of a lower priced ad supported plan that you will never use? (-89)

I canโ€™t get HBO Max where I am but is it close to $20 a month and continuing to go up while also threatening to cancel password sharing? Commercial tier isnโ€™t the problem. Commercial tier (around the price you used to pay for normal tier) as a last ditch effort after alienating your consumer base is the problem. (95)

So you are upset that you can't break the Terms and Conditions EULA i.e.(password sharing) (-40)

How is it that a company that led the way in revolutionising the industry has come to this pile of steaming garbage?Yo, seriously โ€˜people in chargeโ€™ what in the actual fck are you guys doing? Itโ€™s not just this, itโ€™s been going downhill for some time now and itโ€™s pretty darn pathetic. I hope this entire โ€˜streamingโ€™ culture dies in a fire, to be honest. Itโ€™s gone to heck. There are far too many, spreading any good shows worth a watch across dozens of services Iโ€™m not willing to subscribe to. Mixed with countless in-house shows that deserve a negative one star rating. Who in the heck is making content decisions for all you guys? Is it the same one person, because he dumb as all heck and seems to be repeating the same story at every service provider. Bring back movie theatres. I miss them! The whole experience of having a day or night out, getting some food, watching some trailers and the main event on the big screen is far superior to binge watching a show, while in bed laying in the ...

Iโ€™m obviously not speaking for everyone the way that corporations and CEOs have โ€œfanbasesโ€ (๐Ÿ™„), but the general tone deafness of all these motherlovers make me sick. How this shit is put out for our consumption like we should understand their issues. I donโ€™t think one rational adult thinks people should not be compensated for their work or even a company for an investment made, no matter how long that is. This shit is just corporate greed, ie capitalism. Regardless of demographic the majority of people are constantly (this ainโ€™t recent) asked to pay more and more for less and less. FRICK that. Understand where consumers, scratch that, the majority of humans on the planet, are coming from. Frick you and your issues, we are broke! (1)

Here is the full list of companies BCG has been involved in.

Netflix is a commodity distribution platform that became synonymous with streaming simply by being the first to think of and execute it well. They locked up a ton of awesome content and had explosive subscriber growth by doing streaming back when the whole industry was in a mindset of cable and physical media rentals, and saw streaming as a kind of trivial bonus. Netflix deserves a lot of credit for being first and they got paid for that foresight in spades, by getting everyone and their mother to subscribe back when all the major studios were basically handing their whole catalog to Netflix, like, "sure, if you can make a few extra bucks from this on the internet, go for it."

But, somewhat like Kleenex, Netflix is no longer particularly special. There are a lot of streaming services now, and content creators and consumers both have a lot of options. I basically cycle between one subscription service at a time, these days, maybe two. Like, I'll watch HBO for a month or two until I get bored and run out of stuff, then cancel it and get Disney+, watch the stuff I'm interested in, then cancel that and get Showtime or whatever...Netflix is in that rotation, but I'm maybe paying for a couple months every couple years, unlike years ago, when Netflix was literally the only way I watched TV, and cancelling was unthinkable. Prime Video is kinda better these days, tbh, plus it gets you free Amazon shipping, or something.
