Does it? Is there proof this time? Last time the media jumped on this narrative, it turned out Netflix had lost subscribers in western nations where they’d cracked down, and simply added users in cheaper emerging markets.
The fact that they are adding pro wrestling to the channel does not bode well for their future. It’s what cable networks did when they started hemorrhaging users (see SyFy).
Netflix is also getting rid of their cheapest plan. Another sign they aren’t doing so great.
These articles are written by the subjects. I used to think they had to at least take the journalists out to a nice lunch or something, but in fact there are no actual journalists involved. Sad
The media takes a press release, signs off on it and releases it usually word for word a lot. They’ll put their name and brand on it, but that’s a honest to goodness press release.
This article might be a blend, strange that at least on mobile I can’t find an author for this one.
Yeah, can't find author. Great point.
R.i.p dark matter. I'll never forget you!
I honestly thought dark matter, killjoys, and the expanse were Syfy turning over a new leaf and really going back to their roots to keep the network relevant. Guess I was wrong...
Stopped it when it was at its peak. Raised by Wolves was another great show axed too early, fuck HBO
Yeah pro wrestling is a sign we are going the cable route. It's almost funny.
I have Peacock for the PPVs, that's as far as I'll go. I have no problem downloading RAW or Smackdown the next day and watching without commercials.
Netflix will never get my money for the amount they charge. Fuck Netflix in the ass with a cactus.
Hey! You using my fetish as a synonym for “unenjoyable and bad punishment” is not cool.
