? has made a tonne of cash from Netflix too. -
just pay for Cable TV you ? bums

I always wondered how netflix made money besides subscriptions.
-
Is it cheaper to buy exclusive license than to develop themselves?
They will probably need to do a share issuance at some point to offset some of that debt. Not to mention the off-balance sheet debt they hiding -
They wouldn't have to spend so much money on original content if they'd just spend money on legit deals with movie/show studios that we want to see.
I don't think most customers would mine paying an extra dollar or two for actual recent big budget movies and some classics but Netflix has no recent movies and no classics that you want to see.
However they have all the knockoffs you heart desires -
So took a quick look at '16 annual report
$14.5 billion is estimated for what they may pay to potential content makers in the next 5 years.
Looking out 3 years - it's est $12 billion - they did $8b in revenues in 2016, interest they paying on the LOC and LT debt ain't ? right now (key word)
It's manageable as long as they don't materially lose subs

The hell are you talking bout. There are plenty of big movies on Netflix. Cap. America: Civil War been on there for at least 6 months to a year but it's not on HBO,Showtime, or Starz.
As far as original content, you do know it's done just the same as if it were on HBO, FX, ect. I'm sure it cost HBO a grip to produce the 1st season of GoT. Why pay a license fee when you can own the entire content

2 or 3 major movies over the course of 2 years doesn't compensate for 95% of your catalog being knockoffs, movies no one has ever heard of starring people that having even taken a 7th grade drama course, or foreign films no one cares about. -

2 or 3 huh................. -
I didn't mind the price hike since they actually have quality content. Amazon's library sucks. Netflix just need to find a way to get more licenses so they can get more movies

Netflix has Star wars Rogue one on Netflix as well. -
you know, it was only 8 months i was cussing out amazon for their terrible product, but they really caught up recently. Some quality series, newer movies and some good exclusives. Surprised it took them so long to be honest.

They are still solvent in terms of production assets, they just owe their investors back. This is not like Chapter 11 or even outright bankruptcy levels whatsoever, they are basically spending and investing more but are still making enough to keep making repayments. As long as they continue their projected growth they're fine, this is like accusing your friend who works on Wall Street of being broke because he doesn't have 20 dollars in his wallet even though he's getting 200k at the end of the month.

Looking out 3 years - it's est $12 billion - they did $8b in revenues in 2016, interest they paying on the LOC and LT debt ain't ? right now (key word)
It's manageable as long as they don't materially lose subs
Finally someone read the article. All these hot takes and no one read the article. -

But article itself is a hot take -
A lot of yall missing the point about original content.
When Netflix came out, the business model and advertisement was pushing it as a replacement for cable.
Last few years they changed that and are not being seen as its own entity that you gotta have regardless of cable. Thats why they have all this original content now. -
Kodi. Time is ticking on that.

Yeah but doesn't Apple have close to like 500 billion in assets or something like that? I don't think Netflix has nearly those kind of assets. I'm sure they got money for them to produce so many shows but IDK, Netflix is probably gonna raise prices even more down the line. I could be wrong but I doubt it. -
Keep it buck netflix stinks
I wish i had hulu
Most of them marvel shows stinks (daredevil was the best)
Few shows (OITNB amd the pablo/office/breakingbad)
Movie choices stink...85% of original content ass
