Netflix has penny pinched itself into irrelevance. It used to be the home of prestige programming like Mindhunter. Now it’s full of knockoff reality programming like endless baking shows and temptation island.
Thanks to Zaslav, HBO is headed for the same dumpster.
Yeah it's interesting and I wonder if it'll work out for them long-term. My whole viewpoint of netflix has switched radically from "wide in content and tons of high quality" to "dearth of content and mostly low quality slop or cancelled TV shows". I just don't see the point in engaging with it anymore.
Yes, they famously wanted to be streaming HBO before HBO could become streaming. Instead HBO turned into Netflix. They just make tons of junk to see what fits. The problem is that although niche products will attract lots of different niches of customers, without high quality content, it's a costly subscription. Especially as they keep jacking up prices.
