  1. The last time I went to a Theater was when my 22 year old was 11‼️ I believe it was “Princess & the Frog” — I know, I know…but I thought it was 😊 cute. To be honest, I never thought I would have to “Stream” Services individually instead of paying for Cable. On the other hand, I never thought Cable would take the place of those Free 7 channels we had for years – I loved my VCR and Blockbuster Video 📼 was a weekend treat‼️ Now I hear that someone is even trying to purchase Blockbuster and make it into a Streaming service. Anything to bring Hollywood to its corrupt knees. I’m not naïve enough not to believe Streaming services aren’t being infiltrated with messy stuff, but I’m still in control of what I look at and what I allow to be watched in my home. Question is…What’s next

  2. I have Prime, Netflix, Disney, but I mostly watch Netflix! I never watch regular TV

  3. I have given up watching anything on network television because of them, how should I put this? Bending a knee to current political pressures. And sadly the only thing worth watching on Netflix was The Witcher and with no date for a season 3 release, it really is hard to justify paying for it in the current economic situation.

  4. Netflix stock is down because they went woke. The woke agenda will backfire, especially in Hollyweird. A lot of people were fine with rate of human evolution… personally, I canceled all kinds of stuff due to woke agenda. Too radical to make sense.

  5. Netflix is so hard up, there showing movies almost as old as me. I'm 69. Lol….

  6. Your caption is quite misleading!
    It's the opposite of the Barron's analyst opinion.

  7. Deposition Trumputin now, America s #1 Authoritarian threat.
    Trump is Putins twin.
    Watch Citizen K…tell me Trp hasn't lined right up with The KGB Putin.

  8. If it's really true that the average household subscribes to 4 or 5 streaming services at once, that is insane. I never have more than one at the same time: I might do 2 months of Netflix, then cancel it and do 2 months of Amazon Prime, then cancel it and do one month of Disney Plus, then take a break for a month… etc. Factor in that when rejoining you get one month free every year, and it works out at about $60 per year to stream everything.

    I mentioned this to a friend who works at Netflix, and he replied: "Yes, but 90% of consumers are not as engaged or pro-active as you: they subscribe to a service and then forget about it. Especially older folks who were originally set up by their children or grandchildren."

  9. I pay only a few dollars a month because it comes with my phone plan. Even at that, I am pretty much looking for any excuse to cancel it.

  10. God lives! Jesus is coming soon!
    The whole world is full of evil.
    God's judgment is coming soon! A great disaster is coming.
    1. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ! Then you and your household will be saved! (Acts 16:31)
    2. Repent! The kingdom of heaven is at hand! (Matthew 4:17)
    3. He said, "Surely I will come soon." Amen. That's it. Come, Lord Jesus (Revelation 22:20)

  11. Woke jokes go broke….

  12. Getting oscars is not a meaningful metric. Everyone knows that the entire academy and really the entire industry is rigged. They only give awards to the ones that push the desired establishment narrative of rampant and radical liberalism.

  13. Probably had to do with cuties just a hunch

  14. It's pathetic how humans waste so much of their lives on trivial crap like TV. At the end of your life, are you going to say, I wish I had wasted more of my life watching TV?

  15. Funny. I cancelled my account last month. I guess I was not alone…

  16. Amazon is rolling out the 2nd Age Lord of the Rings, soon IF the Stay with a True Tolkien storyline I’ll keep it. Just for that. If Not it won’t be too long before they lose me Forever. The 4 season+ run is said to have spent a Billion dollars. Good Luck.

  17. Don't Look Up was garbage.

  18. There shouldn't be a monopoly on anything anyways. Let people decide what is right for them. There are so many streaming services that reaches a vast amount of people like Pure Flix. This award stuff is for the birds, to put it gently.

  19. "Who's winning the streaming war?"
    Bad, low budget, hate filled, ridiculous movie makers – who are paid before producing a movie.

  20. After they put out "Dear White People," I don't understand how anybody can watch Netflix!

  21. Netflix doesn't need to create MORE content. They need to focus on BETTER content. Quality over quantity, imo.

  22. The problem with the Disney they went walk

  23. I'm thankful i got paid very fast through this top profile ☝️☝️☝️☝️ it's a very big help for my financial life and business

  24. I'm thankful i got paid very fast through this top profile ☝️☝️☝️☝️ it's a very big help for my financial life and business

  25. What's the best way to make profits from crypto investing?

  26. Wouldn’t some of the drop in streaming viewership be attributed to post-Covid re-employment?

  27. Streaming is not free and is expensive.

  28. 10 shows or 10,000 most don't sit and watch TV MORE because there's more offerings..
    And most of the global China offerings are pedantic social justice messages jammed into old successful content that ends up destroyed.

  29. Gave up NFLX several years ago & subscribed to YouTube coupled with an AMC Stubs A~List membership. NFLX stock is beyond overrated & should be 220 PPS.

  30. They are worthless anyway…!!!
