Why Netflix is lacking in unique ideas and concepts

Netflix is standing on top of the entertainment industry, but it is not a position that really has much artistic strength. There are some diamonds in the rough, but it isn’t enough. Netflix simply doesn’t have a unique direction to its productions.

Netflix seems to be more interested in remaking the greatest hits and not making anything new or surpassing what came before. Stranger Things remakes the Goonies or any teenage band of misfits movie from the 1980s. Ransom Canyon is basically many rural shows that were shown on various broadcast channels in previous eras. It seems that they want to be a facsimile rather something unique.

Considering that the company began as a way to deliver DVDs and collect your information while doing so, this isn’t surprising to me. Netflix is an information services company providing movies and tv shows in the form of data to your device here. They are still of Silicon Valley not Hollywood or any other studio city on the planet.

They may rent studios to shoot movies, but this is content not art.

Netflix has many subscribers, but does it have fans who like it for more than content?

Network effect really bolsters many of these companies, but Amazon is not Sears, neither is Netflix a new Hollywood which can capture the imaginations of Americans. These two companies have done great at capturing market share and making money but can they really sustain it? These companies are not really interested in America as nothing more than a place to sell their assets here.

Amazon has an easier time as their products are tangible. However, Netflix seems to be on shakier ground here. Their movies are not physical media but, in the cloud, here. Can they really create the same love for their movies as has remained for The Wizard of Oz, Casablanca, even Metropolis? These are old movies now but the fact that Netflix is buying Warner Bros show that they understand the importance of these symbols of Americana.

Making money is one thing but having staying power is another.

Why Netflix buying Warner Bros shows who runs entertainment now

Netflix is a company that seems to be a titan in our current age. In its early days, it was just delivering DVDs and disrupting Blockbuster. Now it is making those movies and cutting out the physical media and even the theatrical release. Warner Bros, a company that once dominated the movie industry, is now under threat of being acquired by Netflix. This is a company that is entertainment now, and everyone is simply a vassal in the shadow of its influence. This is a company that Hollywood saw as an add-on to the power. Now they are the ones who are an add-on to Netflix.

While Netflix does not have the same quantity of movies now as it did in the past, but it does have the revenue and userbase. It is continuing to grow and is formidable in its loyalty and willingness to put with the unfriendly customer service that Netflix has. This is very important for them to be able to pursue these takeovers of once influential American companies. Netflix is now the leader of the entertainment industry and is peering into the world’s many thoughts and visions.

The most important reason why Netflix is not worth the money and Tubi is growing in popularity

Netflix just released its Stranger Things Season Five, Volume 1 and it is one of those rare TV events we have in our culture now.

In the past, shows such as the original Shogun were changing watching habits. Shogun in 1980 in particular seems to have reset American attitudes about Japan. My thoughts are that Shogun made people more appreciative of Japanese culture and history.

Now, TV shows are treated like content rather than as events.

However, in spite of its impact on our culture, I believe that Netflix is a waste of money. Here is why.

Netflix is taking away content which was “Original”

It is becoming more apparent to me that Netflix puts the “N” label on its content and then removes it without much ceremony. They do not even say which company owns the content or where you can watch that content, but it is just taken away without any context, and you have no idea when you are going to be watch it again.

This happens alot with content made in Spanish-Speaking countries. Juana Ines was taken away despite the fact that I had watched in 2017 and while I had issues with certain ideological viewpoints or framing of characters, it was an interesting series. The series was just removed from the site and now I cannot watch it without trying to get it through streaming through other channels.

I understand that not everything is an “Original” however, they are so deceptive putting that opening logo when you start an episode. Just show the original makers and that should be it.

This happens with many other series, especially period dramas, which is my favorite genre on Streaming services.

Netflix’s removal of its own content makes the service less valuable in comparison to the past here.

Here is my suggestion:

Try to subscribe only when there is something interesting on the site. When you are done watching those shows, you should unsubscribe,

TUBI: The next thing in Streaming

People should be paying attention to Tubi. There you can get tons of ad-supported content. They are also making their own content also and it is getting traction here. Netflix is providing ad-supported tiers but has less content.

I think I know which one users will want to use.

Will one want to use a service which makes you pay for a smaller library of content with ads?

Will you use a service that has ads and is free and actually has the big movies and shows as well as a growing library of their own originals?

There is a reason why Tubi has been growing quickly with consumers. It promises value with quality.

Netflix has too many reality tv shows and is not having the hits that it used to have.

Competition is needed and Tubi may be one of the few services that may be able to shake up the streaming industry in America. Right now, the industry is stagnant and Tubi is truly having innovative concepts in our age.
