Unless I’m too dumb to understand the strategy here, that does sound like suicidal. Context: Netflix is cracking down on password sharing in Canada, Spain, New Zealand, Portugal and now every single person that I know is canceling their membership. Given the fact that competitors are up and ready to take more market share and Netflix has been cancelling shows left and right, also let’s not forget how muchpeople need to wait for a show to become available in their region (I personally waited one year for Peaky blinders!) All begs the question, what outcome are they expecting to see? #netflix
Make you pay for what you watch. You need PhD and MBA to understand that.
Literally nothing’s there to watch
Wednesday was not bad.
I dunno the thought process but their timing is amazing. They planed this perfectly when there is nothing to watch on Netflix
😂 No lie there
Good one! To top that, they raised the price in Canada right on the Canada day last year. Like it was a gift! Good timing though 😂
If I pay Netflix for 3 simultaneous screens, why does it matter where those screens are?
if same household, less likely to be used at the same time. plus easier on their CDN’s
The resolution is different. Why buy 4k TV if you don't have 4k content?
This is a secret plot to force people back to torrents
Quite interesting that they picked these 4 countries for their experiment. Canada and New Zealand are somewhat redundant when it comes to user behavior, same with Portugal and Spain. I get that Canada is there so they have insights for US. But why the rest? Shouldn't they pick some LATAM and APAC market to have better insights before global rollout? Any PM willing to chime in?
We already tested in LATAM. This is just a staggered rollout
Curious to know what was the LATAM results🧐
Idk, I’d hate to be the PM of this.. you cant win nor appease all stakeholders here.
Because Canada is a good test for US rollout. They will balance the tradeoff between additional revenue vs cancellation. If net impact is positive, roll out in US. Simple as that.
Also "every single person you know" is not a good data point.
What if family is spread across in US? Parents in Virginia, Brother in Oregon and sister in Texas
Household and family are 2 different things.
I have family in Europe, Asia and Mars, can I use the same account??? 🤯🤯🤯🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
so the 2 possibilities u came with are: - you’re too dumb to understand or - they deliberately committing suicide? u mean like u think they need to poison pill to avoid takeover or something?
🎵🎶 dumb way to die! Not deliberately obviously.
You had a similar post before right? I am more curious about your thought process.
Nah! First time. Actually I searched the same topic, couldn’t find any
