Netflix to hold global event for viewers called....."TUDUM". It's claimed to be named after the opening sound the Netflix app makes. Instead, it's actually a declaration about their customers. Too Dum. In spanish, tu is 'you'. Not that they're wrong because it's kinda dumb to consistently pay to be propagandized 24/7/365 by the teevee. And it works too, and they know it. Well played Netflix, well played. Calling your customers dumb right in front of their faces and they'll celebrate you for it while they soak up even more of your propaganda during the event.

I once talked with this guy who told me about a door-to-door poll in 1970. Pollsters were asking residents if they would pay for tee vee. I guess enough dumbos said yes, and cable tee vee made its appearance soon after.

Did cable teevee increase the content ? IDK but nothing is free and if you want something good you pay for it ? Don't want it, don't pay for it ?

I kinda like Netflix... I don't use it a lot but it also doesn't cost a lot. But when I want to watch a film without hassle, it's there... Doesn't have most movies I want to watch... But hey, it's not expensive and it has plenty of content... If you want to watch a movie every day, then yes you'll run out... But compared to the cinema or paying for cable, it's not that bad ? Good service to me.

Still do. I do have some internet channels. Family members have 'gifted' to me because their account allows others. I wouldn't pay a dime for about 99% of the bullshit.

Yes, I will pay for good quality, except that overall pay TV is the same crap as network TV. This "on demand" concept would be good if it were truly on demand. You can't just do pay-per-view for one boxing match because you have to buy a subscription. Movies can't be bought individually because you have to buy a bundle. The bundling heuristic is generally for suckers.

I suppose it depends on location.. (Rural UP ,where I grew up,,3 on a good day)

and the quality of the cable provider. (which is often lacking)

Satellite has been the best service the last few, but I can see internet streaming being a better option..(again depending on the provider.)

Yeah, it's about location. And then of course weather. We do have a firestick which allows all kinds of channels. And we piggy back off son-in-laws channels like Netflix and Prime, but that doesn't cost us anything. Again there is some issues with that is our internet is not cable but rather the copper telephone line.
 
I went to Netflix app a couple of days ago and scrutinized what I was going to watch. Each pick I made was a foreign movie where subtitles were required. I left the app and watched something else.
