Netflix just released its Q1 numbers.

They've added record 6.9 million subscribers. That's new subscribers - defectors.

I'm not sure what would cause the "masses" to re-evaluate the quality of selection, especially taking into account the fact that Netlifx is now adding tons of content they'll own forever, so 10 years from now "The Crown" and "The Stranger Things" etc. will still be there plus all the shows and movies they've added in those 10 years.

Competitively Netflix is safe because to watch those 250 top movies online in one place you can go to... nobody.

That's an opportunity. If someone would only figure out how to get th classics all in one place. Netflix is just a new HBO with a better interface.

FilmStruck tried. R.I.P.

I was a Filmstruck + Criterion subscriber still when they closed down. I was planning on subscribing to the new Criterion Channel that looks ready to fill that niche. But it seems that I should try Kanopy first, based on other comments here.
