Unless you're a shareholder, is that actually a problem?

There would be nothing wrong in Netflix say: We're no longer able to buy the shows and movies we'd like, because the studios are setting up their own streaming services. We now going to shift towards creating less content, but higher quality.

As I see it, one of Netflix major problems is the quality of content. They can't buy quality content anymore, so they're attempting to just make as much content as possible, hoping something will stick. Writing have been a major problem for Netflix for years. They're able to create an initial good season one of a show, but are never able to deliver in the following seasons.

Personally I don't see the problem in Netflix becoming a niche player with their own high quality content, that could allow them to lower prices as well. It's only a problem because their shareholders overpaid and insist that Netflix remain a major streaming platform in order to recover their investment.

You are aware that shareholders the owners of the company right?

Sure you might not care if Netflix becomes niche, but you have like 15$ a month of skin in the game. Not million or billions.
