Current Events > Disney+ plans to pull a Netflix and end password sharing.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Max, Netflix, and Hulu are really all you need. Those cover almost all bases. Max and Hulu for HBO/FX and the ridiculous amount of top tier 30 minute comedies. Then Netflix, because it has the most consistent stream of new content.

Disney, Paramount, and Peacock are pretty mediocre when it comes to new content. Older content they have a great library, but unless you have kids or love Star Trek, no reason to have any of them.

Nah. They're also great for 90's kids like me. All of my childhood favorites available for nostalgia trips

it's already bad enough since everything wanted in on the streaming pie and oversaturated the market. it was fine when it was just netflix and hulu. although i do miss back when hulu was free with ads. now you gotta pay and still get ads.

now all the services will crackdown on the password sharing and the lesser ones like peacock and paramount will probably fold soon. piracy will end up king again.

unfortunately don't live within range of getting those free channels.

we're all not within range.

also to note, i just got fucked over this month when my utility decided to increase by 30$.
money i don't even have.

I can get some free channels, but none of them show content in English.

Well damn. I think a couple people use mine, so thatll suck.

Kinda had to see this type of thing coming, people like money and once one company does something the others will follow.

Yup

Time to go back to piracy yet? Lol

I might drop everything but Disney Hulu and Max except when we have a completed show we wanna binge

I left completely. With streaming and A-List, I don't really need to pirate anything anymore. There's really nothing 'must watch' that streams anymore besides maaaybe MCU stuff. But everything else I don't mind waiting for a while. Like Twisted Metal looked cool, but I'll just wait until The Continental drops to get Peacock, binge both, and whatever else I've missed from their platform, like Poker Face and Killing It, cancel after a month, and then maybe go back next year when they have new shit. Same for P+.

For me, exclusive content is key. That's why I'm a big fan of Netflix, Prime, Max, and Hulu. I think those 4 could stick around and the rest fold, and we wouldn't lose much. They have a huge collection of stuff on all 4, and new content coming out regularly. Now if Max didn't have HBO or Hulu didn't have FX, you could probably just move on from both, but I've long said that HBO/FX were the top 2 cable or premium networks, so getting them added into their respective services absolutely helps bolster them quite a bit.

its weird to see people defending modern netflix. its been a long time since theyve had a good selection, the steady increase in the amount of streaming services out there has been death by a thousand cuts for them

More and more HBO is seeming like the better service. This is bullshit.

Netflix is amazing and has been since 2011. If you can't find something to watch and enjoy when they're releasing 100+ new shows a year, that seems like a you problem and not them.

.....wut. This is some sort of bait, right? It's by far one of the worst catalogs out there despite their price increases. 99% of the stuff they produce themselves is trash to boot.

No its not. Not if you want to watch movies anyway. They barely have any movies.

They literally just removed a majority of their produced content for tax write-offs. If you were talking about HBO prior to the new CEO, I'd agree.

But yeah, Netflix kills its show because who fucking knows.

Because nobody watches it.

Netflix has never canceled a show that was popular. Ever.

If that show made them money, they wouldn't have canceled it.

Notice how they're not canceling Stranger Things, Wednesday, Squid Games, and whatever other shows? Because they're insanely popular. Santa Clarita was a niche show. Just like Glow, and whatever else they released and canceled over time.

Netflix would have no reason to cancel a popular and big time watched show just to save a few million.

Theyve cancelled so much shit at this point that people take the stance Ill wait to see if it gets a season 2, then Ill watch it. Then Netflix puts on a shocked Pikachu face that people thought they were crying wolf again and cancels it.

Yes. And that's their problem. If you don't watch a show, a service has no reason to continue making it.

I mean imagine being so conceited that you think a service or network should make a show that only you want to watch.

Plus, there's literally nothing wrong watching a 1 season show. Plenty of amazing shows only had a single season.

If you have an ad blocker you can get more content, better convenience, and the same functionality from pirate sites. If the big streamers are unable to offer anything to separate themselves from others and from the pirates then it's only a matter of time before subscriber retention takes a huge hit.

Nobody wants to get invested in a show that will inevitably be canceled. Netflix did it to themselves.

Sure they do. You may not. Everyone else does. If a show intrigues people, they'll watch it.

People seem to have this preconceived notion that Netflix makes shows for them. They don't. They make shows for the mass audience. If you don't like shows or movies in their top 10, you're simply not the person Netflix is creating content for. You're a niche audience who wants obscure shit catered towards them.

Youre attacking a straw man. Literally every show they come out with, people rightly fear will be canceled, because Netflix cancels almost everything, since they only seem interest in continuing something as successful as Wednesday or Stranger Things, when its obvious everything cant be that successful. A
For example, anyone who thinks theyll even come close to catching up to One Pieces manga before they cancel it no matter how popular it is is a fool.

Why are you acting like the TV networks don't regularly cancel stuff after a single season lol

I havent had cable or satellite in probably a decade, so I dont know or care what TV networks do. Hell, I dont watch much TV period. But its obvious to me Netflix cancels shows a lot more than any of their competitors do.

Same reason they're acting like only Netflix cancels shows. And Netflix should cater specifically to them. And that all Netflix viewers are exactly like them.

People have egos that are unchecked in the internet age and speak in hyperbole about everything.

See, you keep beating that straw man. I dont want Netflix to make shows for me. I dont care about shows period, because Id rather read books, as theyre much better written. But I like to watch a movie once or twice a week, and the flix part of Netflix is garbage these days.

Netflix is the king of content by far amd its the reason it can get away with 20$ monthly and still be #1. That you prefer other streaming services is another issue.

Oh, I was talking about Disney removing content and then not having a way to stream it or purchase. Slimy move. And I generally can find something I want to watch on HBO and not sift through content for hours it seems.

Notice how only a single show of all you've mentioned actually has multiple seasons? Let's see when Wednesday, Squid Game and "whatever other shows" make it past the 3rd season. As every single one of Netflix's popular shows not on Stranger Things or Orange Is the New Black's popularity level gets unceremoniously cancelled as soon as season 3 hits the service.

https://censorship.fandom.com/wiki/Bluey#Disney_Junior

Some of the highlights:

• "The scene where Bingo asks Bandit how do babies get in the mother's belly was cut due to being too inappropriate."
• "The scene where the pony poops, and Bluey and Indy run away was cut."
• "Every mention of the cat toy Agatha peeing on the curtains is replaced with mentions of her scratching them up."
• "The scene where Bandit is hit in the groin with the tree swing is cut."

Mostly they don't like mentions of stuff like poop, pee, farts, and pregnancy
