There is a reason people started calling it “Shitflix”. 🤣
is the reason “teenagers who can’t separate their mouth from their ass wanted to sound edgy, but ended up sounding like a clown instead”?
you do understand that netflix is not a movie archive of all humanity and it is unreasonable to expect it will have all movies from a list spanning across centuries, cultures, regions and genres… right?
Actually, originally I think it was tongue-in-cheek, as Netflix originally intentionally focused on the long-tail part of the distribution. Also the wording was journalists writing articles iirc, even if emulating edgelords (or possibly spreading it after having read on the likes of 4chan:-P).
And then as its selection went down - tbf that had little to do with Netflix and more with other companies trying to copy its success, like Disney Plus for their content, and Paramount Plus for theirs, and so on - it started more and more to ring true. Especially as it started showing “ads”, like at the end of a series it would start auto-playing some previews of some other show. They always walked each such decision back, but at first when they released each one there was no way to turn it off, and then after a month or so it would become possible to log into a computer browser (on a totally separate device) and change the default setting, which would affect your TV also.
I’ve had Netflix since before it offered streaming, and I am always perpetually pissed off at it and thinking of cancelling after each decision to push forward the enshittification. Again, some of which is not its fault.
Netflix is just an enormously controversial company. Usually I get people pissed off at me for saying that I even so much as use it, while you seem to be offering the opposite thought. Regardless, it’s a company that people tend to have strong feelings about:-P.
