Eeeeeehh... I was just talking about streaming services there man (as I said in the earlier reply). Comparing Netflix with the traditional HBO channel is pointless. There's just nothing to compare there. We're in a different time now. We consume content differently, content is made differently, and for the most part we even discuss content differently.

Here we go with the "quality" "quantity" thing again. š

> Lmao more content doesnāt literally = better, otherwise you could take that to the extreme and just upload random hour-long videos of paint drying on the studio walls or something.
You just had to interpret it like this didn't you? šš
> Netflix has clearly taken the quantity over quality approach
> Apple TV+ is also clearly playing the āquality over quantityā approach
lol you keep saying this buzz term, and I keep telling you this is not a thing bruh. This is just not how you gauge the success of a streaming service. Do you think it's just a coincidence that Netflix gained around 2 million subscribers this past quarter, the same quarter they released the most TV episodes they've ever released?
I can elaborate, but I'm currently watching something and my fingers are tired. lol. I wished you'd caught me on a day where I could debate this for hours.

My comment was about HBO Max the streaming service, not HBO the tv channel. HBO has always and will been fine.
> Frankly, everything heās cancelled isnāt/wasnāt going to be great, maybe good at best
Streaming service is the content game. More content being released, the more subscribers the service attract, it's as simple as that. Doesn't matter if you think it's great, good or bad.
> Zaslav actually signals a more aggressive quality over quantity approach
There's no such thing. It's a streaming service. The term "quality over quantity" is just... not an actual thing. Those shows were removed or had their productions canceled because they wanted a tax break, not because they're taking a "quality over quantity" approach (which as I said is not actually a thing, the more content the better).

I feel like that motherfucker Zaslav has really hindered the process of HBO Max. They needed a few years of consistent releasing to catch up to Netflix, popping up one day and just removing a lot of content put a pause on that progress i think.

y'all keep coming here telling me about comic books... bruh, i don't care about comic books. the majority of people needed to watch this series for it to be a success don't care about comic books. it's a dying medium. young people don't care, and old people who grew up reading comic books are too old to still care.

lol bruh, don't take my comment so seriously. it's more me making fun of green lantern than trying to dictate what is made. there's a tv series about batman's butler for christ sake. lol. i don't really care what they make, i'll probably watch it if i have the time to anyways.

Reply to comment by smesch83 in what current TV shows just "don't seem to care" about women? by smesch83
you're right though. we could name shows from the past that just didn't care to include women, and even though they had female characters, they were mostly treated like an afterthought. i can't really come up with any examples where that's the case for modern television though.

Reply to What was the best decade for television? by Inovox
eeeeehh... idk, i respect your opinion but i'd have to go with 2010s here tbh. probably because i've seen more from the decade, but visually and production-wise especially, i'm not too stoked about many popular 2000s series. i never cared too much for the 22-episode format either. plus as someone who values foreign-language productions, i can't think of any from the 2000s besides anime.
