You can't achieve extraordinary things by being ordinary. How Netflix is keeping you fat and poor Anyone can achieve anything they want if they can resist distractions and make use of the available information, support, and guidance. Let me know what you think Btw if you liked this video I have tons more spanning back years on my Facebook profile

Netflix just launched something that could evolve into a must-have feature for streamers: "Moments" is a simple feature that allows a user to set a bookmark inside a show. This allows you to easily find your favourite scenes again later. Crucially, the Moment can also be shared as a url with other people. If they are also Netflix subscribers, they can go straight to the bookmarked scene in their own Netflix service. I imagine this feature will be popular on social media as fans share and celebrate iconic scenes. And it's only a few more iterations from being a powerful referral engine for new users. What if the bookmark created a 20-second clip that could be sent to anyone, Netflix subscriber or not? If the tech and content rights could be sorted out, a new peer-to-peer acquisition channel could be developed in this way. I really like this feature - anything that can make the sign-up journey more organic is a good thing. What do you clever people out there think? Kudos to Henrik Karlberg for the article.

MrBeast beat Netflix to it. Netflix grew subs by 5M this quarter to 282M globally, 42% lower increase than this time last year. Mrbeat has 321M subs globally. And grew 25M in the same quarter. Like Netflix, MrBeast also optimises his content. Unlike Netflix, MrBeast's sole focus is optimisation. If you pop over to his YouTube channel, you see a marriage of snackable, low-involvement, bingey entertainment. Netflix used to be known for its Originals. Cutting-edge, must-watch, cultural moments. I can't remember the last release that was a must-watch. The latest show on IMDB's top Netflix shows of all time list was released in 2019 (Afterlife & Our Planet). Netflix seems stuck in the middle. They optimise, but not as well as MrBeast. They want to make original, creative programming but are no longer taking the creative risks like an A24. Either route can work. But you have to pick a path and run with it, otherwise, you're stuck with mediocre content and declining subscribers.

Netflix continues to lay the smackdown on its competition. It just added more subscribers than many analysts, myself included, expected. This signals that password sharing was even more common than previously thought. But as Netflix becomes more entrenched as an entertainment industry juggernaut, it will seek to avoid adopting the complacency of the companies it has displaced. The move to no longer report quarterly subscribers shows that Netflix has more leeway to set their own rules as a market leader. Netflix is emphasizing what benefits them. When it had no profit, it wanted people to focus on subscribers. When subscriber growth slowed, it wanted people to focus on revenue. The password sharing boosts have been substantial, but they will eventually recede, and by that time it will be very difficult to continue to add as many subscribers as they have added in the last few quarters. By no longer reporting quarterly subscriber, Netflix is quitting while they are ahead.

How Netflix movie recommendation works? When you watch certain movies on Netflix, the system keeps track of what you like. If other users also like those same movies, Netflix considers you all as similar users. Here’s how it works: 1. Identify Similar Users: Netflix looks for users who have similar tastes to yours. If you and another user both like the same movies, Netflix considers you similar. 2. Share Recommendations: If one of these similar users watches a new movie and enjoys it, Netflix thinks you might like it too. So, it recommends that movie to you. 3. Use Machine Learning: To find these patterns among millions of users, Netflix uses a machine learning technique called collaborative filtering. This technique helps Netflix automatically find similarities between users and their viewing habits. By doing this, Netflix can recommend movies and shows that you’re likely to enjoy, based on what people with similar tastes are watching.

The other day, I was watching a documentary on Netflix and was getting bored with the slow moving introspective scenes. There have been times when the plot of the movie is exciting but the content is stretched. But to my surprise, there is no playback speed option on Netflix to increase speed to 1.25x/ 1.5x. There are some amazing political movies on Netflix which I prefer to watch slowly to fathom each and every sentence but there is no option to decrease speed to 0.75x. Albeit, I prefer watching podcasts and YouTube videos at faster speed to gather more information in less amount of time. Why is there not an option to change playback speed on Netflix? Does the creative community want their work to be seen a specific way? There might be a reason that the content community doesn't want to meddle down on how the content is presented to viewers. But recently, Netflix has allowed subscribers to change playback speed on mobile but not on TV. Yet again a conundrum, right.😁 My assumption is that mobile is more commonly used for personal viewing, whereas in most cases TV has multiple viewers and adjusting the playback speed might impose one user behaviour over the other viewer. Additionally, mobile devices📱typically have smaller screens, which can make it easier to follow along with faster playback speeds compared to larger TV📺 screens. So there are different use cases of Netflix on mobile and TV; as it is more accessible on mobile while commuting or during office breaks (if you are lucky), whereas on TV people watch Netflix for leisure. Well, this seems as a conscious decision by Netflix and something for us to ponder upon. Or is it just Netflix wanting us to Chill because "if you act in haste, you repent at leisure"! #thoughtworks #strategicthinking #strategy #consumerbehavior #ideation

Netflix has a helloworld page in production Do you know why? Loading netflix.com for a health check is going to be slow and expensive considering how heavy the homepage is. Hidden endpoints like /health or /heartbeat that just return a single string is the simplest solution. That way you can ping every single host serving the website as frequently as you want and get back a quick "I am up" response without any overhead.
