Netflix has been under scrutiny for several weeks, with some reports, blogs and videos detailing its recent struggles with subscriber loss, a shift away from the rapid growth seen as recently as 2011. It revealed that the company's years of intense subscription growth had finally come to an end . The news sent its shares tumbling as investors began to wonder if it was the company's final fall from grace. It looks like the streaming giant's glory days are behind them, with stats showing they expected to lose 2 million users worldwide.
Just a month after Netflix pulled the plug on Russia, it has dumped about 700,000 subscribers, joining the ranks of corporations leaving Russia to protest the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. The massive loss led Netflix to crack down on their shows by canceling them as their latest cancellation of sci-fi drama Raising Dion after season 2 of the show which premiered in February of this year.
Despite losing 200,000 subscribers, Netflix is still the best option for streaming. Why is Netflix still worth it? It's all about what Netflix does better than other streaming services like HBO Max, Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and more.
As they say "Content is King", Netflix has by far the largest library of self-produced shows across all genres. Not everything is great, but there's a lot to like about their original shows like Squid Game, Bridgerton, You, The Queen's Gambit, The Crown, etc., their sheer volume of quality content unmatched by any other streamer website, a simplified interface and equally unique collections of movies and series that are worth it.
In 2021, Netflix launched the first and only mobile games category in the streaming service for online and offline games such as Stranger things: 1984, Krispee Street, Shooting Hoops, Bowling Ballers and Card blast. By the end of this year, the video streaming service will release around 50 mobile games for its IOS and Android device subscribers.
Netflix is a global phenomenon while other streaming services are not, Netflix is available in more than 190 countries from all corners of the world except North Korea, Syria, China, Crimea and as of March 2022 Russia. Each country has its own catalog of original and certified TV shows and movies. Country content cannot be changed unless the user moves to another country. Some people argue that the "awakening" is what ultimately led to the downfall of the streaming platform. Many companies, brands, and companies claim to be diverse and inclusive, but Netflix is the most diverse streaming service, according to various studies conducted on the diversity of not only their employees, but also their content.
About 62 languages are available on Netflix, the rarest of which are Quechua, Sanskrit, Nepali, Czech, Persian, Yiddish, Assamese, and Wolof. As a result, some people can learn different languages and it exposes users to stories, characters, people, cultures, views and perspectives that they would not otherwise have access to.
Although Netflix has had its fair share of controversial topics from their disturbing film and shows like Darlings, Messiah to Dave Chappelle's famous comedy special The Closer. Regardless of these controversies, the price change or the sanctions against Russia, Netflix still has 80 million subscribers. this capacity proves that Netflix is still the most famous streaming.
