The faces he makes while posting are inexcusable! When he writes a post his face is like a troll double checking bones to see if there's any meat left! When I post I look like a peacock softly kissing a rose! Didn't his parents provide him with a posting mirror to practice forums faces growing up?
Yeah I loved Sunshine when I was younger, I'd be down to watch it again if only to see how it holds up. I remember thinking that even if the back half wasn't what I wanted it still did a well enough job of making it all work together

Netflix's business model is so goddamn confusing to me. You pay like 50 million to make one show. It would imply that to be worth it it would have to generate more than 50 million in subscriptions. How can it? How can they even tell?

Back when Netflix was the only major streaming service it was about bringing in Hot poo poo productions that would convince folks to fork over the cash for a membership. Now that everyone has a netflix account and they have competition from Amazon, HBO Max, Disney+ and a plethora of others, they've become a content creation site with the objective being finding stuff that trends and creates opportunities to sell the broadcast rights to TV.

Well with most internet companies they don't make money, they just have to show they are eternally growing so venture capitalists continue to throw cash at them until they can go public. But Netflix went public decades ago so now the idea is that there's eternal growth of subscriber numbers so investors throw money at them until??? In 2020 they had 203.7 million subs, up 30 million from the previous year, net income up from 1.8bn to 2.7bn in the same period.

Obviously at some point that growth pops because eternal growth is an impossibility, at some point you reach market saturation, especially with every media company now wanting a slice of that streaming pie. And because capitalism is insane, merely matching enormous profits from year to year isn't really acceptable, so when they stop growing they will spend even more to attempt to reach new subscribers, but as that's impossible that will mean smaller returns or even losses as they chase growth that doesn't exist.

yeah one of their kpis is “hours watched per subscriber” so basically editing doesnt exist and even 15 minute stories get turned into 10 hour documentaries

If Netflix wants me to watch lots of their poo poo they should get the license for all the subtitled Toei stuff. They’ve been a decent landing spot for foreign language stuff, but the rotation keeps changing so if you find something you gotta watch it all right there unless it’s got an N in the graphic. I hope Devi lands on a streaming service somewhere cuz I wanna finish that glorious trash show.

Thankfully this practice doesn’t bleed over to the kids section because if Netflix lost Pocoyo or Oggy Oggy there would be a toddler riot.

It's basically just an extremely long-form promo, so if you like Moxley's promos, you will love the book.

I read it over two days, but that was because I had to sleep for work, otherwise I would have read it strait through, too.

Today I got so mad at my truant teen I threatened to beat him with a shoe. Obviously, beating a teenager with a nike slip on is a tad extreme, but so is taking 3 hours to get ready for school. Anyways, trying to think of ways to motivate a disinterested teen that don't involve taking my shoe off.

Probably takes about three hours to apply a professional-grade thicc-assed Grinch costume. Whoever gets ready first decides when you leave.
