it seems to me this market has loads of competition without silly regulation like this getting in the way
[edit: yeah, my argument went on a tangent and didn't return back to point. Removed to not distract from the discussion.]

I dislike this format because it makes a 4 hour story into an 8 hour story where 4 hours of it is showing the character in some type of inebriated state. I think flight attendant did this too, and the only reason I can think of is to pad their statistics and it being cheap to film those sequences. But it just ends up boring me. And all the content producers are doing it. I tried Severance on Apple TV+, and I had to s…
Different strokes I guess; I thought Severance was great. I didn't even notice the sequences you're describing, but I guess in hindsight they added flavor/gave me a mental break to process recent plot developments
As a consumer, I don't want to have 5 different streaming services with subs coming and going depending on what shows happen to be in season. I'd rather choose to subscribe to one of various streaming services that in turn let me source content from many providers and just let me pay per show or whatever (maybe after a free first episode or something, I dunno).
In a way I kind of feel bad for Netflix, because they were there "first" and for a long time had maybe one of the more "open" (in terms of content) services. Now the studios are in control again. It's not good for the consumer.
This chart [1] was making the rounds a while back. Whether you totally agree with its methodology or not, it certainly suggests that many people consider a huge swath of Netflix' content average at best. And for someone like me who doesn't watch a huge amount of video, that's not a great look. Tastes differ of course but my tastes aren't that out of the mainstream. And I'd rather a streaming service had a modest numb…
If anyone from netflix is reading, the reason I don't watch as much as I used to is because of the automatic previews. I used to just leave netflix open all day and randomly pick things when I felt like watching. I can't do that anymore. Though I do really appreciate how easy it is to suspend/cancel. I'll be back for stranger things, but who knows how long I'll stay.

You can turn them off

That graph isn’t showing that. Sure, Netflix produces way more content than competitors but they also have more shows in the far right (outstanding and exceptional) than their competitors.
The ratio of OK-or-worse to good-or-exceptional sure appears to be a less favorable for Netflix than the others. Though people's rankings seem crazy to me. Apparently just producing a Star Wars thing and not totally shitting the bed in the process counts as "exceptional". Then again... yeah, that's kinda true, I guess. From a certain point of view. Still, better than nearly all shows on all those services? Yikes. I d…
