Re: Amazon And Netflix Original Content
@mhh I have the same experience with Amazon. It's surprising too considering all they put into the shopping algorithm. It has flaws too, of course. I usually don't get alerts about new shows from Amazon. Netflix does a great job -- it sends an email saying a new show or season has been added (based on something I have in queue or have watched).

Re: Amazon And Netflix Original Content
@dcawrey are you suggesting they change tactics in planning their programming? I thought Netflix bases its original programming on big data it collects from its subscribers -- to give them just what appeals to their tastes.

Re: Amazon And Netflix Original Content
Amazon seems to be pushing their original content more than their library of movies. I haven't gotten to them yet but they just released a few that look like they are  going to be really good.

Re: Amazon And Netflix Original Content
I think as long as Netflix and Amazon continue to build up star-driven vehicles such as Goliath with Billy Bob Thorton, things will be fine. 

Some of these whiz-bang series don't really appeal to me. I like good characters, and good actors. These companies are going to have to pay up for that.

Billions and billions.. and the ROI?
I'm impressed that netflix can spend billions to keep users loyal. That's like buying a Lucasfilm every year! Disney has been reaping the benefits of its original content... and now I wonder how many other players can replicate Disney's business model.

Re: Amazon And Netflix Original Content
I don't think Amazon is as good as Netflix at *recommendations* of their own original content, however. Netflix seems to remember that I liked Marvel superhero shows and suggests other superhero shows, but Amazon Prime's video service didn't even really notify me that season two of The Man in the High Castle was available (when Amazon should know I binge-watched the first season).

Re: Amazon And Netflix Original Content
@Ariella, that is an interesting development.

It appears that the original content, in addition to creating cross-over customer services, provides them better capability to control and deliver to customers value and pricing that keeps them competitive in streaming and the membership services.

Smart move!

Re: Amazon And Netflix Original Content
Amazon has also started promoting its video service fairly regularly to its Prime subscribers. I don't think it used to do it quite as much.
