Re: Calculated Risk
@afwriter. Good point. I agree. It is a waste of money, time and resources to make a DVD for a few shows. The model that works and continues to work is to create DVDs for a season of a show. Not sure why they wanted to deviate from what is working.

Re: Betting the Farm
@afwriter. Yes they are. They have moved away from their company mission and initial purpose for starting their business. When that happens executive lose sight of how they become a large company. They need to go back to the beginning and reflect on their original core values before they lose everything.

Re: Calculated Risk
And think of the fact that they are doing the opposite of every movie company. Studios would much rather sell a digital copy than a DVD nowadays.

Re: Netflix
The problem is that subscriptions are such a static way to make money. Netflix needs to find other ways to monitize instead of hoping that they can continue to gain subscriptions.

Re: Netflix
@afwriter - You're exactly right about that. (Though it is how Costco makes the money they do. And Costco's subscription is substantially cheaper.) I think I can see ads coming to a Netflix near you. They may be at a point of desperation to do so.

Re: Netflix
I think ads would end up hurting them more than it helps. I know they do it a bit in a small scale way now but my personal opinion is that Netflix needs partnerships and much stronger product placement in their original shows and movies.

Re: Netflix
Agreed. I think ads wouldn't be a good choice at all. Part of the charm of Netflix is the lack of ads. It's wonderful to watch things without advertisements!

Re: Netflix
I completely agree. It would be a huge mistake. I’m not sure how many clients they would lose. However, I don’t see new people signing up because of the advertisements. YouTube is annoying enough with the constant ads..

Re: Netflix
Introducing ads would be a good way to lose existing subscribers. I suspect new subscribers would be stuck with ads, however. It would be all wrong no matter what.

Re: Netflix
I agree! I know for me, that’s one of the things that I love about Netflix and what sets them apart from others.
