Netflix and Chill Remember way back in the olden days when TVs only had 10 channels? Well I don’t because I’ve grown up in a world when I have a plethora of visual content at my fingertips. Imagine, it’s the year 1970 and you’ve been waiting all year to watch your favorite movie, The Wizard of Oz. It’s a dark and stormy night you’re sitting around the TV with your family and just as Dorothy begins singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow, the power goes out. Yes, you read that right, the power has gone out and you are missing your all-time favorite movie and you’re going to have to wait a whole entire year to see it again. Fast forward to 2017 and it’s a dark and stormy night you’re about to watch your favorite movie, The Wizard of Oz. Just as …show more content…
The biggest negative that Netflix brings is the loss of anticipation and excitement. The loss of anticipation and excitement is bad because it takes away the motive to continue watching TV shows. The motive for watching TV shows is taken away because you have nothing to look forward to. One of the great things about cable TV is that you must wait every week for a new episode. I know this sounds like it’s a negative but if you think about it you probably wait all week long and get so excited for the day that your favorite TV show finally airs a new episode. Loss of anticipation and excitement is taken away with Netflix. This excitement is taken away because, it’s all there at one time you don’t have to wait for anything to come out. This means that you can burn you on the TV show that was once your absolute favorite thing to …show more content…
Having so many movies is bad because they don’t have any new movies. The movies Netflix brings to us are older and while still good they don’t have any of the newer movies that come out. Cable TV has newer movies sooner after they leave the theatres. But Netflix doesn’t get the movies after they leave the theatres. If Netflix gets a newer movie it’s long after it left the theatre and it is already available on cable TV and on DVD. Access to so many movies can cause you to be overwhelmed. It’s a great thing being able to watch movies whenever you want but when you have so many options it’s not easy to pick a movie, which can cause you to be overwhelmed. Being overwhelmed is bad and adds stress to your
The third issue affecting Netflix is the age of movies that they offer to their customers. Netflix cannot deliver the newest movie titles online because they are not offered through VOD for at least a month after they come out on DVD. This is a huge disadvantage to their customers that exclusively use Netflix’s online service. This is the only advantage that Blockbuster still has over Netflix, because if someone wants to see a movie the day that it comes out on video then
Following the success of the US version of The Office starring Steve Carell on NBC, Parks and Recreation, a small-town government political mockumentary, premiered on NBC in April 2009. The show trails Leslie Knope, an employee of Pawnee, Indiana’s Parks and Recreation department, as she pursues both her political and altruistic ambitions to better the town and perhaps the entire country through bureaucratic hard-work. The audience journeys through the amusing political climate of a small middle-America town, as Leslie attempts to beautify and magnify her town via new parks, programs, and events. With thanks to the talented, comedic cast, including SNL’s Amy Poehler and The West Wing’s Rob Lowe, Parks and Recreation aired for 7 seasons, recently
Popular television shows aids to heavily influence American audiences, perpetuating, and problematic ideas about homosexuality. Not all mainstream media adheres to traditional social ideas. South Park uses satire to deconstruct heteronormative views on homosexuality. Therefore, homosexuality is accepted more widespread through use of mainstream media.
Netflix is first provider of delivered DVDs by mail that became common way and convenience for customer. Netflix offers DVDs to customers with quick delivery, which is mostly within one day (Willy Shih, Stephen Kaufman & David Spinola, 2007). In addition, customers utilize good recommendation system provided by Netflix (Scoot Merrill, 2009). Besides, customers are able to be given good customer service support (Katie Hafner, 2009).
Though it’s not a direct competitor because it’s doing way better than Hulu, Netflix is still a huge reason why people are not signing up for Hulu. In price, there’s not much difference with the two, but the content of Netflix has produced some of the most critically acclaimed shows such as: House of Cards, Stranger Things, and Orange is the New Black. Cable TV can also serve as a threat to Hulu if you look at DirectTV for example it has the same features of
In the Netflix mockumentary series, American vandal, made by Dan Perrault, the main character Dylan Maxwell, an 18-year-old senior at Hanover High School was held responsible for performing vandalism on 27 cars causing $100K worth of disfiguring. Everybody believed that Dylan was in charge of the destruction, despite the fact that he claimed innocence. Instead, they thought Alex Trimboli, the "eyewitness," Ms Shapiro, the Spanish teacher and everyone else that claimed he was behind the vandalism were speaking the truth. They put Dylan as the prime suspect based on his past with Ms Shapiro and furthermore because they believed he was capable of committing such crime. The thesis of the show is never to prejudge a person based on their past. That may sound as cliche as it appears to be yet the accompanying procedures used to shape the show will enable one to see how under the circumstances this might be viewed as a cliche thesis. The examples of satire that the creators used were humour, exaggeration and irony. A diversion was utilised to make the show enjoyable for young people, yet with the use of satire, they could influence teenagers to appreciate the show while accepting a genuine message about how a false allegation against anyone could destroy their lives. Many of the people in the show were biased against rebellious teenagers which was something that Dylan was known for being. In the mockumentary, Dylan Maxwell was accused based off his image, his past, as well as his
This also allows their content to be viewed virtually anywhere. The fact that they teamed up with Oracle to work on their website was a very beneficial move as this gives them somewhat propitiatory technology. I personally enjoy their recommendations and it is obvious that with their next arrival that they have strong logistics. They have a big cost advantage too. If I can stream a whole season of How I Met Your Mother in one day, I feel as though the $8.99 that I spent was a good investment and yet I still have another 29 or 30 days to go. The two times that I had to deal with their customer service; they quality of service was outstanding and I’ve heard many other wonderful testimonials. When looking at weaknesses, I feel that their inability to provide new releases is a major drawback. In addition to this, they need to amp the selection for online streaming since streaming is expanding rapidly. The issue at hand with streaming is that it can potentially lead to server crashes if there are too many users on at once. Netflix can also be very enticing to hackers since there is so much personal information stored. I would say that the biggest opportunity for Netflix would to be to make deals with the movie production companies to allow Netflix to offer new releases. To feed off of that, they need to increase their variety; particularly in the selection of indie and international films. With as
The demand for digital content is driving changes in the rental industry. Technology is shifting from a physical medium to a digital distribution system. This is likely to be beneficial because Netflix is already rooted in the digital streaming industry and would only have to adapt to minor changes in technology.
The main problem facing Netflix is the pending conflict with its content providers. Netflix has low bargaining power both over suppliers and buyers, and this represents an existential threat to the business. Netflix has proven to be a popular service, but despite the successes of its first ten years, there is now evidence that it has not fostered much brand loyalty, and that its customers are quite price sensitive. Combine this with the fact that its content suppliers are becoming direct competitors in the online streaming business and Netflix is in significant danger of having its growth trajectory derailed.
Another reason Netflix is way better than Netflix, is that they do not have commercials/ads. People can sit around at home and binge watch their show without any interruptions. When a person is watching their favorite show and getting really into it, they do not have to be interrupted by a commercial for baby’s diapers. They do not have to wait two minutes of the same commercial playing over and over every commercial break.
Netflix is focusing on the groups that need to relax after a hard day of work, or just groups that seek for relaxation. This group likes to watch series or movies for their relaxation. This identifies some end-users to have a life with need for relaxation. Another lifestyle that some end users may have is the one which are fans of some movies/series genre, they love to watch some specific genre and that is where the Netflix service is based upon.
Netflix needs to stay with the current trends of customers world-wide, keep creating Netflix original series, and keep updating their system when new devices are invented or entertainment improves. Netflix is a phenomenal way to stream the best content that is currently available to users and if they continue to provide excellent customer service at an affordable rate then I will continue to be a loyal customer for many years to
First of all, it offers a “prepaid subscription service” that allows customers to simply subscribe and pay a fixed fee per month. This gives the customer the ability to rent unlimited movies, something never heard of in this industry. In addition, customers are also worry-free about returning movies late since Netflix did away with all late fees. It must also be stated that in contrast to other companies that offer subscription based services, Netflix has made it relatively easy to unsubscribe from the packet or service the customer has selected. One may think this is a poorly thought idea, but it has helped customers return. These returning customers are satisfied and
Large catalogue of diverse shows and movies – Netflix has a vast collection of international shows and movies that other competitors in the market do not have.
Netflix has around 75 million subscribers today which suggests that it is a very popular organisation. Netflix at the moment serves many markets across the world whinch included the US and Europe. Netflix suffers from competition from companies such as Amazon prime. Both of these companies compete to gain customers in this compact market. Netflix's corporate strategy fits in with their business level strategy as they deal mainly with DVD rental via online streaming. The deal that is in place with Warner bros has a major impact on how Netflix conducts itself. If other online streaming companies don't face this deal of not being allowed to stream their contents untill 28 days after the public release date then other companies have a competitive advantage which would lower Netflix's revenue. This would cause customers to leave Netflix as they may be able to see films at an earlier date with rival
