Discussion Netflix is actually so terrible

[overmorrow]

I've thought recently of yk, trying it out again after many years, that i haven't used it, holy shit, it's so ass, wasted 8€, why is it so full of slop? is this what some people genuinely like? taste is taste, and it's subjective, i understand that, but still, mind-blowing to me

is HBO max any better?

Maybe I'm just being overly pessimistic, but I feel like this is the entire world now. Every businessperson in every industry has caught on that it's more profitable to churn out endless garbage than to make something thoughtful and high quality. The entire world is mass-produced plastic garbage. The most discouraging part to me is that the overwhelming majority of people seem to just shrug their shoulders and drink the slop that's being shoved in their faces.

no i get you, you're just being realistic don't confuse that with pessimism, most of the industries don't care about quality, tbf, it's all about money and self rewards at the end of the day,.

I agree. You can compare it with quality programming from the 80s,90s and even the 2000s. They are poles apart.

This is why I just buy older shows on DVD or pirate stuff. If streaming services want my money, they have to make something worth paying for.

Thank private equity. They ruin everything they touch.

Good thing i am too poor to be able to spend any money on this whole subscription crap. I watch things on free sites if at all.

I just watch stuff on Youtube. It might not be content that's in vogue, but it's free.

ive always avoided any streaming services ngl. i hate netflix, i remember trying to watch 3 things on there and it felt so meh. also been hearing that netflix just removes "netflix originals" lol?! the shows/movies feel so lacking just from seeing its thumbnail cover and title

 

[richieya]

They keep getting rid of all the good stuff so it's not worth it,,,, you can find it all on the internet anyways

 

[trying ungracefully]

I like HBO max just because of 1000lb sisters, boondocks, and smiling friends (which got cancelled!?!?). Also common side effects was decent. Maybe you'd be able to find more things there? I barely watch shows though and I have all of the streaming apps because of my dad, sister, and brother. It kind of says something that I search for so long on everything and end up watching the same shows. It's only once in a while that I find something good.

If you don't want to pay for nothing basically I say just search for shows and pirate them, r/piracy on reddit has a list of websites if you don't know one or it stopped working, sometimes episodes are out of order though on some websites. I don't use it really but IMDB might be good for searching for shows too.

I really enjoyed physical 100. It's a reality show, but then again, I like sports, weightlifting and MMA. So you might not like it if you aren't interested in those.

But yeah, Netflix is over saturated with a lot of low quality content.

You could have put this in the off-topic section of the site
