The past two years have been a whirlwind of changes at Netflix — and it’s all to transform the company into a revenue-driving machine that outlives other streamers.

    It‘s interesting to me that Netflix sees itself as a must have streaming service (per the article, that may have been the writer‘s quote), when I find Hulu and Tubi to be much more necessary for my viewing preferences. Besides Fall of the House of Usher, I haven’t given one care for most of Netflix‘s output recently.

      This, I literally only ever watched Bojack and Trailer Park Boys on Netflix. Got rid of it recently and do not regret it. Can find anything worth watching on netflix for free elsewhere. Been a Netflix customer for 14 years and should have ditched them after the first price hike.

      The only thing I’m interested in from Netflix now is the final season of stranger things, and I’ll gladly pirate that.

      While there is a lot more that I enjoy on Netflix, they are rapidly doing everything they can to ruin any positive reputation they had while increasing prices which is just shooting themselves in both feet.

      Sounds like our taste in media is probably not very similar, but out of curiosity, what kind of content do you find that’s so compelling on Hulu that you deem it more necessary?

      In my household, we rotate services and currently the service du jour is Hulu (mostly because we haven’t had it in a long time and figured there must be a bunch of stuff to watch). I’m just not seeing much of interest on there and the couple things we did want to see, we’ve already finished. So, I’m thinking maybe I’ve overlooked something obvious.

        I Like old shows and It‘s Always Sunny; so Xfiles, Buffy, Frasier, MASH, Hulu is great for many classic tv shows!
