Depending on how you feel about the band, either Imagine Dragons showed up in front of Netflix HQ and played a concert to support strikers. -- (link) - Mop🧹 May 12, 20:16 15
- Netflix is like strike central (but the Valley lots have more actual production gates to cover and keep Teamsters from crossing the lines) -- nm - hollywood big shot May 12, 20:21 14
  - Here’s a general strike question: 1) Is the expectation that every entrance to an employer will be picketed? And 2) - Mop🧹 May 12, 20:24 4
    - Picket lines are metaphorical more than physical. The latter is a visualization that represents the former. -- nm - Qale May 12, 21:17
    - Teamsters have said they will not cross any picket line so it's not a theoretical thing. lot gates are pretty much all covered but location shoots are - hollywood big shot May 12, 20:30 2
      - That’s the thing. Location shoots. If they (the picketers) don’t “catch you”, then you’re not really crossing the picket line? -- nm - Mop🧹 May 12, 20:37 1
        
        shows only shoot partially on location so if they can shut it down on the lot, showrunners have so far been suspending production in general it seems -- (link) - hollywood big shot May 12, 20:39

        by like 20 yards -- nm - hollywood big shot May 12, 23:00
      - Isn’t it counter-productive to picket Netflix HQ? I mean, it’s not a shooting lot, like Universal or WB or Sony, right? - Mop🧹 May 12, 20:26 2
        
        I wonder if there are any picketers up here at their actual company hq. I haven’t seen anything about it, but haven’t checked much local news this - i.b! May 12, 20:50

- I think they want the next Stranger Things, if a fantasy show is nowhere near the same numbers season 1 it'll get cancelled. - LMS May 13, 02:08
- 39 million hours at its peak is nothing. Don't the charts regularly have billion hour shows? -- nm - Ender May 12, 19:19 2
  - Netflix uses hours on their charts because they know all the data. Nielsen uses minutes because they only see a fraction of the data. - Mop🧹 May 12, 20:57
  - (Or is that minutes???) -- nm - Ender May 12, 19:20
- Yes, let's cancel a show that makes us money. - Mop May 12, 19:16 3
  - Am I missing something here? What were the numbers at the end? Doesn't matter how many watched the beginning if only 5% of them watched the end. -- nm - Spawn May 12, 19:19 2
    - I think it's that people watched the entire thing in the first 2 weekends. - the wrong element May 12, 21:28

- I don’t think we have a good marker on what it means to be successful even still when it comes to streaming. - Qale May 12, 19:00 8
  - at the end of the day it's whatever keeps subscribers subscribing but that's still 200m things to 200m different people - hollywood big shot May 12, 19:08 7
    - They can make the strangest things (not the show) get watched by far. And at the end of every controversy they keep becoming the talked-about thing. -- nm - Qale May 12, 19:12 6
      - the other thing is other than a Stranger Things or Bridgerton, none of the million shows they release into the ether get a credible marketing push - hollywood big shot May 12, 19:32 5
