stock seems to be up 160% from its low in 2022. So this piece of information is irrelevant to the future of the company ?

Which stock? This isn't about Netflix, but its rivals. Kind of a garden path headline.

Is it just me or has the quality of streaming content gone massively downhill? We are in the era of the McDonald’s of streaming.

Everything is low quality mass market crap.

At this point I’m only watching pre 2016 content or foreign stuff. It’s just so bad.

And this is the stuff writers went striking over. I mean I’m not surprised they are threatened by AI, it’s not hard to copy American films and tv at this point.

It’s like no one, not even hbo appreciates the importance of artistry any more. It’s all data driven, but what you get then is standardized crap. It might work for some industries, but definitely not tv.

It wasn’t all for naught, some hidden pearls came out of the low interest orgy thad made everyone and their dog open a streaming service.

For instance, AMC+‘s „The North Water“ or Starzplay’s (yes, really) „Counterpart“. Any more recommendations?

That says nothing about streaming. Maybe it would have gone up even more if they didn't launch their streaming service.
