I wonder if this is at all related to their drive to stop account sharing. Maybe these are not wholly new users, but just accounts that are dividing.

#12For budget conscious customers I think the cheaper ad version of Netflix may not be a bad option. You get all the content at the expense of a few minutes of ads. Still not as onerous as cable. Once the financial situation improves you move up the value chain.

This is how our brief golden age of ad free content ends. Not with a bang, but with quiet resignation about how 'it's really better for us!'

#14I wonder how they are predicting that others are losing $$?

720p with ads at just $1 cheaper than Disney+/Hulu with ads is quite a bad option.
There needs to be greater backlash against this so Netflix is forced to either cut price closer to under $5, or match competitors with full HD.

#16It's fake just like HBO max.
Att gives free HBO max, t mobile gives free netflix.
Lots of corporate shenanigans going to artificially boost dying audiences
I know because we see the same thing in the mobile game world. I'm pretty sure just looking at usage numbers of the companies left that I contract with across America,Asia, Europe, and Brazil that we are in a global recession.

#18I am a big Netflix fan (subbed since 2003) but I am concerned about their future since 2017 or so. The reality is that streaming is becoming a commodity technology. What was cutting edge in 2007 and new in 2010 just isn't very differentiating any longer. I don't know what their alpha is. Everyone seems to complain about Netflix content (though I think it has the best selection, but whatever) and I worry they are figh…
You are correct, this change is occuring rapidly across multiple sectors.
Technology for things like gatcha games, streaming, card games, etc have been standardized.
Now you have to compete on brand, market factor, and hype.

In my opinion you are incorrect that streaming tech is a commodity. Nobody comes close to Netflix in video delivery and client robustness. I’d say Netflix is many years ahead of its competitors in terms of technology.

They absolutely are, hands down, no question about it.
There’s just the pesky problem of diminishing returns.
