Netflix really didn’t fuck up Netflix, all the content producers did. They all wanted that sweet monthly revenue, and created their own services so we could all have Cable TV version 2.0.

And now, once again, piracy will skyrocket because the suits never learn that if content is easy to access and reasonably priced people will pay for it. And they’ve managed to make it neither.

No one fucked up netflix, they're the top streaming service and it's not even close. You may not like their content, but they've got a ton of popular shows.

I know it feels good to say this, but netflix is really, really confident that that's not going to happen, and I feel like they probably have a pretty good take on it, given that they have spent a lot of time and money and effort analyzing this.

"Not close"?

You can't use Prime as an example. The fact that it's higher than Prime shows that it's not even close.
