Reply to This is the most believable theory as to why Stephen tWitch Boss took his own life: by [deleted]
The most probable reason is that we have a mental health problem in America and suicide rates for men are insanely high.

It's not that hard which is why it's weird that you're being so aggressive about it.
If they offer the one show that you want to watch somewhere else than your incentive to subscribe is 0.
If they don't then you have to subscribe for at least a month to watch it. That is when they try to hook you with everything else they offer so you stay on for multiple months.
They don't care about making more upfront because they can make more in the long run by getting people into their platform and keeping them. Which they have been very successful doing.
Most other streamers allow for purchase because that's what they did before they entered streaming.

Why would they want to make it so you can pay once to watch something when their entire model is getting you to pay monthly to watch it?

>but now they realize it's not profitable.
It is profitable though. The only reason it's not is because there is so much competition in the space that all these streamers were/are overspending to gain/maintain market share.

A lot of these streamers don't make money so I don't see how the issue can be greed.

I don't think that's technically true.

Reply to Could Deadwood be made today? And do anti-woke people have a point about modern TV norms? by rosencrantz2016
Didn't they just recently make a Deadwood movie? Seems like that answers the question.

Tons of great writers have had bad shows. Alan Ball had Here and Now, David Miltch had John from Cincinnati. Mike White is a credited writer on the Emoji Movie. That doesn't mean their past work was a fluke or that they can't make other great things

>I have no clue why they even stopped doing it, it was so useful.
Because if you had missed the previous episode before you might not have any way to see it. Now there isn't really that problem.

After the show left or basically any phrasing that doesn't seem to imply that it was a choice by Netflix to remove it when in reality it was a decision to not pay to have it stay

I wish articles like this wouldn't refer to it as Netflix "removing". It makes it sound like they choose to get rid of it like WB

Celebrities performing songs in great costumes is silly fun and many people enjoy it.
Plus the element of guessing

It gets great ratings and is ridiculously cheap to make.

I doubt it, the new CEO seems to want cheap shows and big spectacle with nothing in between. They're going to make at least 1 or 2 more GOT shows.

You are though. They write for the laugh track. If they didn't film in front of an audience it would change the dialogue.

I'm not trying to have an argument. You clearly only made this post for that one reason which was the point of my comment. Go troll somewhere else.

>its not a funny show. watch scenes on YT with the laugh track removed. its as bad as the Big Bang Theory
This is always a silly criticism of sitcoms. Comedy is all about timing so removing audio que for the pause in dialogue is obviously going to make something worse.

I'm not interested in this, but I absolutely hate this line. People don't ask for stuff that turns out worth it all the time.
