Which will have its own effect, but thats for later. The Millennials are like they are in part because they're the second wave (or in MANY cases "second marriage") kids Boomers themselves had later than their own parents did, whereas GenX was the smaller pool the non-college Boomers had in their 20s

Netflix does what it does well. It does it exceedingly well. They do it so well that others can't compete.
But it's the only one really doing that, and everyone else is getting out of the game.
Very likely, they don't want to end up like Blockbuster.

What's really telling here is that the administration clearly doesn't have the people ideas or mechanisms to do anything but stick first policies. They're like this because they have literally 0 answer to what to do other than do more warcrimes or abuse immigrants.

I think it's unfair to compare the Democratic Party to UK Labour under Starmer. I think it's absolutely true that the mainstream centrist press, exemplified by the NYT, wants the Democratic Party to be the UK Labour Party under Starmer, though.

Oscars aren't being dominated by Netflix exclusive films. The Emmy's aren't overwhelmed with actors from Netflix films.
Netflix properties come and go with little attention or care. The only ones that have managed to break containment are KPop Demon Hunters and Strangers Things.

With companies like Disney, Paramount, Apple and Amazon, they can at least diversify.
Disney and Paramount have movies, tv shows, tv networks, theme parks, to draw in revenue. Apple and Amazon have other aspects to their empire.
Netflix has none of these. It *just* does streaming.

I think this is what it gets down to.
Netflix is *THE STREAMER*, but the problem is that streaming is- essentially-dead.
Or at the very least, cannot grow past this point. It's reached market capacity. Everyone who could use the product has it. And it can't get any bigger.

No, for real though:
CONSERVATIVELY, part of the calculus on this Warner/Netflix thing is that any actual regulation discussion on a FINAL merger-acquisition is likely to happen under the NEXT Presidential admin; which is why Paramount's crybaby "They're being mean!" letter didn't save their bid

@bobchipman.bsky.social , a question; you’ve made the comment about 2028 being a political/cultural turning point since millennials will finally outnumber baby boomers. On the cultural front, do you see much changing in terms of Christmas traditions/music since a lot of that is bb nostalgia?
