LavaPlanet comments on Netflix Has Lost the War on Movie Theaters — Netflix spent the last 10 years trying to render movie theaters obsolete. Now the company is giving up just in time to avoid becoming obsolete itself.

They're focused on solely making content you can double screen, while watching, so all super slow repeating what's happening frequently, nothingness. Personally, I judge a show on whether I reach for my phone or not. If I reach, I know it's bad or at least mid. I won't double screen. I stop watching. So It's nice to be told there's nothing on Netflix for me.

Oof. That is the type I hate the most, second only to reality TV. When I watch something, I sit down to focus on it. It’s not something on another screen or in the background.

I gave up on them when they kept hiking the price and removing features.

It's literally why we have Netflix. It is constantly playing on the background as my wife works. I prefer music for work. Apple TV and Dropout for streaming entertainment.
