It's inhuman.

It's Pacific Islander Matt Walsh

Here my dumbass read this as “canning” like the criminals would be forced to manually can goods for the homeless or somethin.

Ha!

> Shows are only successful if everyone binges them in the first week

Which is dumb because streaming was supposed to be different than regular TV.

I might've tuned in every Wednesday to watch this week's episode of Lost 15 years ago

But I love the convenience of streaming. I can take my time and get around to something at MY pace...

But they're not giving people enough time to actually do that. That first week or two goes by, and BAM, cancelled... Like, could you not? Could you give me a minute?

I'm sure they ran the numbers, I'm sure that this is what's "financially best" for Netflix... But I really think it's going to bite them in the ass in the long run. It was already annoying as fuck starting shows and having them pulled off Netflix before you got a chance to finish. It's doubly annoying to have them cancelled before you even have a chance to catch up. I've still never watched the second season of Sense8 because I just don't see the point.

They still gonna buy the tickets...put your money where your mouth is and stop feeding ticket Master

As a child I witnessed one of the scullery boys being caned, he was caught scrumping apples. He never did it again and the lashing healed quickly. All in all I think it was an appropriate punishment for a seven year old

Nothing new under the sun eh? I remember the last time this was floated.

They most likely define success as views and retention. I haven't seen the metrics, but my guess would be that most shows are "a small group of people really likes it but it doesn't draw the larger audience and as such doesn't pay for itself". Yes, a show does need to have a large audience to exist, otherwise it's a waste of money. No, the fact that you personally really really liked it doesn't make it "successful"

I don't see anything wrong with this. Military does physical punishment all the time, and it would be limited to serious, disgusting crime like rape.

not even that denomination would fit that fat fucking head

In case you acrually are a bit discouraged by this, it's worth noting that this is surely a massive troll on the part of the M&Ms brand, leading up to a Superbowl ad (rather than some kind of attempt to cave to Carlson's ridiculous anti-M&M campaign).

I am genuinely not sure what the point of your comment is.

Bring back Tuca and Bertie!

Show of hands, who calls bullshit?

Jesus also cares, as do I

Netflix has cancelled more shit than Twitter.

You stupid fucks are confusing successful for “show I like” Why the fuck would Netflix cancel shows that make money? Nah Teds probably right. They probably only canceled shows that lose or aren’t making enough money. And that’s how they measure success

This is a change that was made like 2-3 years ago because the majority of people said they weren’t part of a religion anymore. I was talking about the theological meaning of “no value” aka. You died, your soul is gone, your body has no emotional or physical value anymore :-)

That’s the only reason, not because of monetary reasons and you don’t want to know how many people break that law live on TV

I love Pearl Jam, but I don’t think they ever had as large of a fan base as TSwift and let’s be honest, the GenX grunge fans aren’t that motivated to protest in DC

I mean that was Disney not Netflix. Plus another season is coming out.

They could require a name when buying tickets and ID to get in if they wanted to make sure there would be no middlemen buying up tickets. There's nothing that can't be done around that using traditional methods that is only possible through NFTs.

Kinda is. Ticketmaster sells the ticket to middlemen that are front running your orders in order to increase the price per ticket. Basically they are doing the same thing to ticket as is being done to the stock market.

This is actually it. Netflix looks at completion ratio - how many people started the series or season, and how many finished it? But when Netflix was new and binge was the thing, that worked. Now? Most people I know watch an episode, or a few, each week. They don't binge the entire series in a sitting anymore. Netflix is canceling shows while people are still actively watching them and are being tallied in the non-complete demographic. They're impatient, and it's leading people not to start series until they've been picked up for the next season at all.

His head is certainly pretty far up his ass.
