I would argue that the streamers were burning expenses producing shows, thinking that spending more means quality. Older streamers, and we do exist, are not as interested in prestige from glitz, but from quality programming. Otherwise, HBO MAX, which could produce three shows for 5 years on the money it wasted rebranding itself multiple times, would not still be getting people binging The Wire and The Sopranos. Netflix introducing shows, only to cancel them after a year or two, even if they are moderately sucessful, will only cause people to not invest in shows when they first debut, further speeding up the cycle. Duster, the Waterfront, FUBAR, all were modest successes that were canceled too soon. Yet Paramount continues to overpay for Tulsa King, which with the names involved, has to be an expensive show to shoot.
I found your analysis on the state of television really thought-provoking, especially the statistical insights regarding viewership trends. It got me wondering—could it be that while we see a dip in traditional TV consumption, there's a shift towards streaming platforms being our new 'golden age'? How do you think this transition impacts the storytelling medium? Also, considering how many people are consuming content through platforms like TikTok and YouTube now, might those formats redefine what we consider quality programming? I'm curious about how these changes might influence future content creators and their narratives! https://snowrider3d.com
Hey folks, I discovered this article while browsing a newsletter that highlighted pieces about education and society, and curiosity pulled me in. What caught my attention was how it framed classrooms as evolving spaces shaped by technology and culture. Midway through I opened https://eupoliticalreport.com/uri-poliavich-and-the-new-classroom-battlefield and liked the straightforward writing style. I enjoyed how the ideas were explained clearly without sounding overly academic.
Very interesting. YouTube has variety and accessibility while streamers charge for exclusivity. Thank god for free trials. I think "consumers are once again willing to sacrifice time over money" because it's the trade-off for quality.
Sad to see that reality shows have grown to be such a significant percentage of Netflix's content. That genre is the opposite of prestige/quality TV; it's worse than soap opera
I also don't want to wait 2 years for a new season of every single show.
