Netflix has become a glowingly popular way to watch television shows and movies. But of course with such popularity there is bound to be critics. Many say they miss the experience of going to a video rental store late at night and being able to browse through the selection in person and ask for suggestions by the workers. This is a reasonable complaint however there are still video rental stores for those who favor going out to choose a movie. Other complaints consist of the movie and television show selection that Netflix has to offer. This is another valid excuse with less of a leeway for Netflix to argue with it.
Netflix is slowly becoming completely original with its content wanting to produce eighty original films in 2018. This is promising for the company in a couple of ways. Firstly many people enjoy the original TV shows and movies Netflix has made. Hits such as 13 reasons why and stranger things have shown that Netflix can make quality shows. This is also a good thing for Netflix because they will be able to create profit for their movies and not have to waste money on licensing for rights to other films or shows. Although it is understandable that Netflix would want to do this to make more money it may be detrimental to their overall goal of getting more viewers and making current viewers want to come back. Viewers are already complaining about the selection that Netflix offers and as they create their own content it is likely that more outside shows and movies will be taken down.
Netflix can not exactly risk losing more customers. People have began criticizing harder on the selection of movies and looking towards other companies like Netflix such as hulu and amazon prime. Due to this backlash Netflix will need to rethink their goals and reroute their focus on fixing the current problems instead of looking to produce so many movies in a year. By doing this Netflix could gain better reviews and more customers.
