Why NetFlix Is Failing

I hate Netflix. Had it a few years ago, saw the same shit every day. And then there were those titles that made you think it was something else and then bamboozled you into watching. "Battle L.A." apparently isn't the same as "Battle: Los Angeles" But, I also hate them because they took great glee in destroying video stores. A nice trip to a video store often was a break from humdrum life. Or if I had to get out of the house after editing or writing. It was also a nice way...if you work in the movies, to read the pitch. Or "elevator pitch" An industry term meaning the amount of time it takes to tell your story should be the same time it takes to ride an elevator. Sure you can still do this in Netflix. Probably made more more convenient. Any key phrases to entice you into watching was a gain. Then box art was the other thing that drew you in. I swear, some movies probably spent more on their box art than their production. It almost seemed to as you perused through countless video boxes, you had to stop at the one that was flashing lights and cackling. Like some fucked up Hallowe'en gimmick. But you read the box cover. There was also a guy one time who analyzed the box art and found that 1 out of 4 box covers had a gun on it. Funny stuff. Netflix is failing because it spends too much money on stupid shit. Like a contract for Obama. Or movies that push stupid social agendas. Yeah, I know that isn't the whole truth, but there is a redneck in Arkansas that may have had the service but opted out. He may have found another alternative that isn't so quick to pretend men can have children. Multiple that dude by 1000 and then let it spiral. I think a lot of these tech giants forget the people it wants to cater to. The unwashed. They think the college student will pick up the pace for content. You'd be wrong. They follow trends. And Netflix is so yesterday. I haven't had Netflix in nearly a decade and never even thought of them. Until they started making movies. Fuck what a dumb idea. Sorta. They couldn't produce things fast enough for humans to consume. So these assholes stretched themselves way too thin. Yeah, ambitious as they are, quite stupid to leap to the biggest overhead you could. Guess they got bored acquiring things. Seems the easiest way to make a buck. But also, by making their own films, seems they kept all profits. Same with the way they started to acquire theaters in town here in L.A. They bought theaters so they could win acclaim. How pathetic is that? Bloat is catching up to them.
