Netflix CEO may have missed the real reason why US subscriber numbers plunged
Netflix is just getting more expensive and less interesting to me.  With all of the content I like being taken off to be hosted on network exclusive streaming platforms that I refuse to pay for - I&#x27;ll probably eventually just cancel Netflix as well going back to the tried and true method of just buying bluray box-sets of the content I want to watch.<p>Or piracy.<p>I think the critical mistake that all these megacorps are making is that people don&#x27;t actually want to pay for a bazillion streaming services.  That&#x27;s the reason we cut the cord in the first place.  People hated being locked into packages and this is basically the same thing - you need the &quot;NBC&quot; package for The Office or the &quot;CBS&quot; package for Star Trek.  I can&#x27;t be bothered to spend all that money.<p>Netflix was worth it because it made accessing so much content easier than piracy, but with everything getting pushed into a walled garden &quot;package&quot; approach again...piracy will be easier again.<p>I get HD over the air with less than a dozen chanels, and that&#x27;s often enough to keep me distracted if I&#x27;m not feeling up to playing a videogame or watching a movie.
