>As Netflix has shifted toward original (and exclusive) shows and movies, the size of its catalog has gone down.
>Research last month showed that since January 2014, the number of titles available on Netflix in the US has shrunk by 31.7%. This was particularly pronounced in movies, where Netflix's selection had gone down by over 2,000 titles.
>Netflix now actually has 4 times fewer movie titles than Amazon Prime Video, one of its major competitors (which recently rolled out a standalone option), according to research by Barclays.
>Netflix still has the edge in terms of number of shows over Amazon. But that's not the case with Hulu, which beats Netflix on both number of shows and movies.
>But quantity isn't everything. Netflix's main thesis has been that original shows and movies drive more value for its customers, even if they are expensive to produce (and might be causing a reduction in overall catalog).
>This theory has at least somewhat been borne out. Netflix originals have an average rating of 3.87 stars (out of 5), higher than the 3.47 stars "other content" averages, according to research by AllFlicks, a site that tracks Netflix's catalog.
>And though Netflix began its journey into original content with shows, lately it has gone on a shopping spree for movies at places like Sundance. It also plans to spend $90 million on a new Will Smith movie, according to Deadline.

Why are you still wasting your money on this shit, /tv/?
Don't you know you can download the same stuff for free online?
They're spending all of their shekels on exclusive TV shows to where they're neglecting their stock of movies.
I don't watch movies on netflix anymore after their cropping faggotry.
They've still got the tv though.
literally 100% of the titles lost were complete and utter shit and things that you would never fucking watch.
Until I can watch Amazon prime on my chromecast, it's worthless to me.
Cancelled Netflix last month. Feels good desu.
>paying for something you can get for free
>>68593505
I really am thinking of getting hulu just for criterion
>>68593505
cancelled when they blocked VPN/DNS services, local content is too shit, i'd rather just pirate until the streaming services get their shit together
amazon has tons of mst3k tier public domain movies inflating their numbers.
>muh evil netflix thread

>>68594221
>when they blocked VPN/DNS services
Still working for me.
I had that message pop up a few times, but I just shut quit the app and it worked again. Haven't even seen the message in over a month.
they're both equally shit. Although Netflix UK is admittedly better
Oh look, another Amazon viral marketing thread.
>>68593505

>>68594176

>>68593505
Why the fuck do you care what I do with my money?
Go fuck yourself.
It'd be interesting if Netflix or one of these other streaming services made a news round table program where people of differing political beliefs, age, and backgrounds discussed politics, culture, and big news stories. Many people do not like the bias of big news outlets and it'd be very enlightening by revealing how events make different people feel and react. It could be very beneficial for society as a whole to better understand one another and could move people away from extremist beliefs. It's not like the streaming outlet would be picking a political side, and they could always cancel if the program doesn't work out well. Preferably they would only create episodes when there is a topic worth discussing, and the biggest motivation for the people on the show should be expressing their beliefs.
Seems like there's some untapped potential for a bias free news outlet that could possibly boost streaming service subscribers.

Bosch is great
Rival services are brokering exclusive deals, and TV networks are attempting their own services.
They see Netflix as a threat now and are trying to break it by denying them content. This started before Netflix started producing their own content. Producing their own content was a purely defensive move against film companies and networks cutting them out of content.
>>68595408

Typical retarded buyfag
>brother pays for Netflix and I use it on occasion
>I pay for Amazon Prime so I get next day delivery, a better selection of movies and Batman: The Animated Series AKA the only good capeshit
The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is still their best original series.
The region blocking and to a lesser extent regional pricing are why i wouldn't support netflix or their alternatives.
>watch a flick on netflix
>while browsing for it see another movie and make a mental note to watch it later

>>68595200
good idea, and since other anon was rude I will do the honor
We have an account for the house with the 4 simultaneous screens at once option, pretty nice to have it if we want to watch something and it just comes out of the joint account we have.
>>68595934
Thank you, anon.
>>68595942
This. Netflix may be losing some movies but it's still most logical solution to a family situation.
Amazon still doesn't have that stick out of it's ass about offering it's services on non-kindle Android devices. Their selection is getting better and better but they need to get over it and accept not everyone owns a damn Kindle and maybe everyone doesn't want to buy one even if they're cheap as a night out on the town.
>tfw after so many flops and a oscar bait movie no one liked because oscars are white you are reduced to starring in direct to netflick movies

Hol up
It gets worse, canada, the uk, and most of Europe have roughly 20-40% of netflix USA's content.
T-thanks local monopolies, content rights holders and general assholery.
Amazon won't be happy until they own fucking everything and it's amazing how the same people who bitch about wal-mart and big business/evil corporations don't realize amazon is the worst of them all

>>68595858
It usually has a little notice at the top of the screen if something is being removed from the catalogue soon. Like: This title is available until X.
I like Netflix and there's nothing Amazon Shills can do to change that.
>>68596636
You should stop using that pic since the word "racist" is misspelled.
>>68596520
Did you know that Amazon have started to make certain items purchasable for Prime subscribers only?
You can use third parties sellers still, but i wonder how long those will be viable.
>>68596520
This. It's getting scary.
For example, I just went looking for Amazing Instant Video on Android thing the viral marketer doing this had a point but he didn't
Instead I found a new app for some shit that they'll send you orders withing 2 fucking hours to your house if you're Prime. What's sad is that I would have been gloriously happy if it was available in my area which it isn't.
It will be soon probably though. I live in the capital city of my state, Arkansas. I can only imagine it's not here yet because of Wal-Mart legislation and Kroger going full Roman invasion mode.
>>68596757

Amazon Now, has a limited selection of what you can get.
>>68593505
This article is bullshit.
I can go onto amazon right now and tell you that there are only 1,476 movies available to watch for free.
Netflix has 4,563.
Yes amazon has a bigger library, but those are movies to rent or buy to watch online.

Literally bullshit. A lot of fantastic movies have been removed.
I looked for Asian horror movies on netanyahuflix last week. There are TWO.
>>68597917
literally not bullshit. movies are cycled on netflix. you can't count good movies that are no longer available as losing good movies. they'll be fucking back eventually.
there is literally no reason to be spending resources on thousands of movies that literally no one watches.

I can't tell if you're talking out of both sides of your mouth or if you're simply talking out of your ass.
You said that you "aren't losing good movies". That they're "cycled" back in. That's complete bullshit.
And no, that was your "consumption model" a few years ago, when you had a decent selection. Now you have an extremely tiny selection and I've seen most of the good stuff already. I'm not going to give you more money for VHS delivered via pony express either.

As a member of Amazon Prime, they have an awful selection. It is vast, but so many of it is just old shit no one would watch (not old = good), and indie movies that were not even straight to dvd but straight to vhs tape and only available via mail order because rental stores couldn't give them away
>>68595758

I hate watching shows or movies on my computer, if I'm at a computer I'm way too tempted to play video games instead or read 4chan.
I mean yes I can stream from my computer to my TV with windows media center and my xbox, but sometimes that results in choppy play because I don't have a solid state drive.to stream from. I've been doing that for Game of Thrones because I don't feel like paying $15 a month for one show, and hey, I can't subscribe to it even if I wanted to from my computer, I'd need a smartphone or tablet (which I don't have either)
I've been thinking of switching from Netflix to a competitor though, if they're reasonably priced and have a better selection...
But on the other hand.. I do enjoy some of the netflix originals. House of Cards, Narcos, and I did like the sequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (not nearly as good as the original, but still fun fantasy like fight scenes)
>>68596520
It's pretty crazy. The developers of an MMO I play just recently lost one of their head writers, one of their head systems developers, and their Game Director to Amazon Game Studios. Apparently they must be developing a VR MMO
They are getting their hands into EVERYTHING.
>>68600041

That's bullshit.
And you just told the other anon to "act like a fucking person" yet you have your face buried in your phone checking and listening to shit. That's classic.
Btw did you think the reason you don't like the idea of having emulators on your Iphone is because it can't get those emulators at all? Sounds like somebody is jealous.
>>68604988
Checking my email, sending texts and using my phone for music is what people do in public. Playing games on a Nintendo DS emulator is not what people do in public. You're a fucking cunt addicted to videogames if you do that.
No, I don't want emulators because I don't play videogames on my phone.

Having more doesn't mean they're better. Amazon literally has softcore porn movies, if that's what they think is going to kill Netflix then they are too bright.
Netflix originals is worth losing whatever crap movies they get rid of every month. Netflix is worth it just for Daredevil alone. Plus the amount of TV shows on their is incredible. The only thing that it really lacks is Blockbuster movies and anime. Perhaps they should focus on rare obscure films that you dont see everyday. Would love to see japanese horror films from the 70's and 80's. Even american horror films from that time period would be great. Give me more martial arts or maybe midnight movies. Cult classics. Just be different.

Friendly reminder that everyone's going to begin withdrawing licenses for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc and begin their own streaming platforms. Eventually they'll offer the streaming services in a package and it will just be cable all over again.

how much is Hulu paying you to keep posting this anti-netflix campaign?
The glory days of Netflix are definitely over. They used to have a good selection of old classics plus stuff that was pretty new to video.
I'm not interested in subscribing to Netflix solely for their original content, which seems to be the direction they're heading. I don't care about like 80% of their original programming. They also totally pad their content with like a million episodes of shitty old shows no one ever wants to watch again. I mean, like, Cheers was a fine show back in the day, but is anyone really excited to sit down and blow through like 10 episodes of it?
That said, Amazon has a totally of old shitty movies no one cares about, and their interface sucks a fat one.

I really do not understand the appeal of netflix. You can find everything on netflix for free elsewhere for torrenting or streaming.
The only content Netflix truly offers is its original material but there isn't enough to warrant actually paying for the service. The rest of it is movies I've already seen, a lot of movies I never want to see, and television shows I don't want to watch (aside from Twin Peaks) because they are too time consuming.
Hulu is something I understand paying for exclusively for its Criterion options.
Do people not realize that it's possible to torrent stuff and stream on Netflix? Just because you do one doesn't mean you can't do the other.
>>68610168
>not supporting the movies and tv shows you like
You're the problem. It's people like you that cause great tv shows to get canceled after 2 or 3 seasons.
>>68610152
B-b-but he's b-b-black! It would be rayciss not to invest!
>>68610217
If you are torrenting anyway there is no reason to use netflix
>>68610168
Convenience is a big factor for me especially when paired with a Roku that's always on.
>>68610249
>It's people like you that cause great tv shows to get canceled after 2 or 3 seasons.
No, it's your hipster shows that cancel themselves.
>>68606756
Nah, he's right. At least he's doing something fun while he's being antisocial, you're just wasting your time doing "normal" shit as if he should give a fuck about that. Grow some balls man.

Unblock-us
It's not free, but it works and it only cost a few Canadabucks.

>>68609537
He's not kidding you know.
>>68610249
I don't watch television anon, I despise television.
I go to the movies once or twice a week so fuck off.
>tfw every company has their own streaming services
>each company owns certain IP's
>you now have to subscribe to 5 streaming services to watch all your tv shows
fucking kill me.
>>68611000
>actually subscribing
>not pirating everything
If you actually want to be a paycuck, go ahead, but the community gives the same shit out for free.
Why would anybody on /tv/ actually pay for any media?
Aren't we smarter than this?
>>68595200
Netflix wants content they can market to you now and many years into the future they wouldn't do news or current events programming simply because of how quickly the content becomes dated or irrelevant to their audience. I mean, how often do you read last month's newspapers? When was the last time you watched an old presidential debate? Do you do this as commonly as you watch old seasons on Netflix.
They also want content that appeals to an international audience, by nature current events shows focus on events and there is always a bias in which part of world gets the most attention, what issues in those coutnries get attention, who is invited, what language they speak, etc. These aren't really biases that can be overcome and exists in all media. IN fact the best media outlets are often the ones that deliberately focus their attention on certain topic and regions. Global coverage almost always boils down to shallow coverage simply because most of the time when you report on an issue, there will be plenty of people who have never heard of it before.
I have amazon prime and whenever I want to match a movie it's not available for free and I have to resort to pirating
What's the fucking point
>>68611271
you're stupid as fuck.
>>68593505
I tried Amazon Prime Video a few times and the User Interface was awful compared to Netflix. It was just tiresome to go through menus and sub menus rather than just scrolling through, and different series of the same show would be separate and wouldn't say what season they were until you played them. On top of that, having two seasons free then having the rest behind a paywall is a dick-move business practice.
>>68605458
Sometimes, yeah, but sometimes they're more convenient as they can have better visual quality and the right subtitles
>>68610061
Honestly this would be for the best
>>68610061
>DisneyLife

u mad?
>>68612893
>popcorn time
That is an insult to piracy
>>68614190
>Netflix killer
Umm, no.
>>68611891
convenience, also to avoid things like choppy playback when trying to stream from your computer to your TV via a wireless connection, or avoid the hassle of having to run cables from your office to your livingroom.
>>68614352
>avoid things like choppy playback when trying to stream from your computer to your TV via a wireless connection
Why would anybody stream wirelessly unless they had a solid AC network with all AC clients? I pirate everything with a box attached to my router which torrents for me and it streams it via Ethernet to my TV which is also connected to the router.
>>68614668
and thus you have cables strung from one room to the other, which is also a hassle, it's a tripping hazard, makes it so you can't close the door or you have to drill holes through walls. If you're in an apartment, drilling holes through walls isn't an option.
> Netflix's movie selection has shrunk so much that Amazon has 4 times as many movies
And ptp has still more than both (+ imdb) combined.
>>68598442
Triggered?
>>68614793
>and thus you have cables strung from one room to the other
Uh, no. My router sits next to my TV, and next to my router sits a FreeNAS box which torrents all my stuff for me. It's all in the same few feet of space.
>>68615304
and so then you have cables strung to wherever your computer is, unless you're some neckbeard who has his computer in his living room.
>>68597023
And here in Australia our Netflix literally has like 5% of the content US netflix has and we get none of the other services.
>>68594337
>Amazon Prime is a goddamn joke.
It's pretty much a shill thread - only naming amazon prime as a competitor and saying how great they are exclusively while trashing the big competition?
The thread OP is shit also for the reason that it's just the copy/paste of an article.
>>68615367
>and so then you have cables strung to wherever your computer is, unless you're some neckbeard who has his computer in his living room.
No, the FreeNAS box torrents for me. I control it via a WebUI on any browser on my laptop or desktop. The cabling is pretty neat and tidy because its all pretty compact and next to each other. There is no cable going from room to room at all.
>>68615367
also then what do you do for your TV in your bedroom?
>>68615488
>laptop
so you just don't game on a PC, got it.
>>68595200
There's no such things as an unbiased news source. You know full well that your idea would turn into Young Turks 2.0
>>68615536
I use private trackers, so I built myself a little computer to connect next to my TV and router strictly for the purpose of torrenting and streaming to my TV.
>>68598383
>he can't afford a measly couple of dollars a month for netflix.
>>68615573
basically what youi're saying is that you live all in 1 room, probably in your parent's house, got it.
>>68615573
>private trackers may may
It's this faggot again.
>>68615648
No, that's just for my living room.
>>68616419
and so you don't have a TV also in your bedroom?
>>68616823
no. i'm not addicted to tv
>>68617060
neither am I, but sometimes I like to watch something in bed before I go to sleep.
>People paying money to be spied upon and have their viewing habits recorded and then sold to the highest bidder so that Warren Buffett can try to sell you car insurance.
Just say "no" to non-free software.
>>68617120
I would just stream it to my tablet in that case.
All you pooor fags just get a job and quit bitching on your secret internet forum you know that netflix will continue to thrive. Or at the very least share an account with somebody
>>68597449
This is the truth.
Fuck off amazon shills

nice idea tbqh senpai but
not gonna work, SJW are not going to come and talk you shitlord
>>68598823
i have gigabit internet please give me some movies too
>>68619322
Wouldn't be the SJWs fault.
Netflix is owned by the same corporate masters that own our global media. They would never allow it.
>>68602481
I like longmire
>>68594329
If that's true then Netflix are morons for not doing the same thing.
>>68614203
butthurt detected!
>>68597743
>paying $39.99 for Farty V when a HDMI cable will connect your computer to a TV and you can do the same thing with your keyboard and mouse
Just how fucked is the geoblocking for Netflix now?
I had been happily using unblock-us, but despite their best intentions, it no longer works reliably.
I tried using Unlocker, same fucking issue.
What are hopes for these companies going forward? Are they all kill?
Its a myth that USA Netflix is the best. It may have the most content but most of the movies are straight to video trash.
Countries outside the EU usually have great exclusive content (because they're not tied to same licensing deals). Norway, of all places, seems to be the only country with the complete Hannibal series.
It really is best to have access to ALL regions but now that dream seems over.
