When in doubt watch Avatar ( The Last Airbender )
It is my theory that Netflix is designed to make you browse instead of watch. Streaming costs money. Browsing keeps you engaged with Netflix without costing them real money.
Streaming costs almost nothing to them comparitively, the expensive part is all the licensing
Play the buff. Tell users they can watch X without a license at hand. If they ever click on it, tell them there’s a technical issue. They’ll move on in five seconds.
Tried to look this up and you’re not wrong. It’s pennies per month for each user. Not per stream, but all streams.
Really puts their price hikes in perspective. Wish I could cancel it again.
They own a lot of their own content now so that’s “free”. They pay residuals based on streams which is part of licensing. The more streams, the more licensing costs.
Sawflix II: Pick an episode of House to recommend to someone who’s never seen the show.
Trick question. The correct answer is an episode of Psych, the far superior Sherlock Holmes telling.
You know that’s right. 🍍
Monk as well.
Avatar: TLA again?
That’s why I don’t have Netflix. I used to for a while, but trying to find something to watch to justify the monthly price seemed too much like a chore. My streaming service is my DVD shelf, and I update it by going to second-hand stores.
Oh boy, time for another re-watch of Love, Death and Robots
DARK every time. Currently on my 9th re-watch and still haven’t found anything better.
Disenchantment. Every time.
