i personally don't think features drive subscriptions over the long haul as much as series, but when DVDs were still a thing, exhibition was basically - hollywood big shot Nov 29, 14:45
No, that's a way to get a lot of ppl into 30 day free trials and then drop you -- nm - rollo Nov 29, 14:43 9
- I don’t think Netflix does free trials much these days. -- nm - Qale Nov 29, 15:13 2
  - Netflix does not offer free trials, but you have the freedom to change your plan or cancel online at any time if you decide Netflix isn't for you. - rollo Nov 29, 15:16 1
    - sure, but people are lazy and forgetful. plenty of people will just sign up and let it ride. -- nm - mafic Nov 29, 16:39
- To have any chance to hold onto a subscriber at all they have to entice them to sign up in the first place. -- nm - Dano Nov 29, 14:50 3
  - IMO the long-tail of their entire library is what gets/keeps subscribers, not the latest addition to it. They should get as much exhibition money up - rollo Nov 29, 15:04 2
    - there was a reason Netflix paid $100m to keep Friends for one extra year before it got siloed on HBO Max. their biggest performers were always legacy - hollywood big shot Nov 29, 15:26 1
      - Yup the original gets you to sign up since those are what get the marketing push, the legacy stuff gets you to stay once you are already there -- nm - con_carne Nov 29, 16:14
- I bet the 30 day trials are going to go away OR be modified so that the latest projects aren't accessible. -- nm - Remlik Nov 29, 14:44 1
  - a bunch here are a week free only now (Paramount+) -- nm - Beaker Nov 29, 15:04
