Netflix Loses 200K Subscribers in Q1 2022, Expects 2 Million Subscriber Loss Next Quarter

by SeriousSatisfaction8

If Netflix just made a working app that allowed UHD content across all platforms, and stopped their bullsh!t approach of only working for AppleTV / Chromecast, they might retain users.

When your Android apps are more plagued with technical problems than most of the countless 'free' streaming movie & tv apps, you know you have a big problem -- Apparently Netflix doesn't understand that or care -- Once people switch from paying $275/yr for a sketchy app to paying $0 for a more reliable, better quality app with more content, it's going to be an uphill battle to entice those former paying customers back.

They did not lose users due to the app or the availability. It explains why in the very same article you posted. Lost 700k from Russia and still only 200k lost globally.

They lost users because of frequent price increase

Their problems run much deeper than that. They haven't improved their GUI since they started... It's been a mess for years... maybe they like the randomness to it all, but I personally HATE it!. I want to filter out all foreign films - I don't want to see them. The voice overs are garbage, and while a good film is worth reading subtitles, it's not for every day consumption when people have a hard time putting their phones down or being distracted by something... only to have to rewind and read...

They don't implement popular API's to find their content on device homescreens or within search... They want you to exclusively use their disorganized app.

Then they need to stop getting involved with politics. Stop giving them boat loads of money for documentaries that no one wants to watch. Stop offsetting this crap by raising subscription rates.

​

Until they do that, they are a sinking ship.

I canceled back in October of 2021 because I couldn't find anything good. All their new content was political or just didn't appeal to me. I was going to resubscribe this January when the new season of Ozark came out. But in true Netflix fashion they decided to split the season. Half released in January and the other half this coming summer. That made me decide to forget about it and just subscribe to another service. Maybe Netflix needs to revisit their business practices?

The Netflix app works perfectly fine for me on Android TV.

Netflix is losing subscribers because of their ADHD when it comes to making original content. They put out good quality content, then cancel it when it starts getting off the ground.

What devices are you using that has all these issues?

They keep rising prices. They have turned themselves from a distribution platform with everything on it to a mostly their own content platform. And now they want to hunt password sharers down, basically making it even more expensive. I am almost ready to drop it for good.
