Mike Flanagan Says Netflix Was "Actively Hostile" Towards the Idea of Releasing Physical Media: "It Became Clear Very Fast That Their Only Priority Was Subs"
  • This is false. Firstly, because people don't subscribe to everything forever. But even in some Netflix utopia where everyone has a Netflix subscription, and they keep it forever, then what? Now you can't make any more money, you're making the maximum amount of money your business model can make. But you can keep people subscribed to your service by continuing to add new things, while also making extra money from those who would like to own physical copies.

    Subscriptions detach income from titles, meaning all the service needs to do is exist and have things on it. There's no budget to actually create anything special. Physical offers a way to reconnect those, making something that is more expensive and in return making more money.

    The ad-based plans everyone is introducing run on the same logic. Subscriptions aren't sustainable.

    Network Error?

    I keep getting network errors. Can't post anything, load any threads, etc etc. Is this a Lemmy.ml problem, or a me problem?

    Home page keeps showing me Local/Active instead of Subscribed/New

    My account settings are set to Subscribed/New, but when I open the app I see Local/All and then have to change it.

    Can I show subscribed by default?

    I keep having to switch to it manually, the app defaults to the "all" feed which seems to only contain this sub.
