not too long ago i published a video
0:02
here on this channel titled netflix
0:04
users need to prepare for three big
0:07
changes that was back in april but i've
0:10
already got updates on all the things i
0:12
talked about in that video and in that
0:14
previous video i made two main points
0:16
about content first that netflix needs
0:18
to focus more on quality instead of just
0:21
quantity and then i said this my
0:24
prediction is that netflix will
0:26
experiment with its content release
0:28
strategy as a subscriber i like having a
0:30
full season released at once but there
0:32
is a downside to that strategy and it's
0:35
true netflix has been experimenting with
0:38
that content release strategy take
0:40
stranger things for example at recording
0:42
time seven episodes from season four are
0:45
available to stream but there are two
0:48
additional episodes that will not drop
0:50
on the service until july 1st this isn't
0:53
exactly new netflix has released some
0:55
other shows in two parts as well so if
0:58
you're like me you may be wondering is
1:00
netflix planning to move away from its
1:03
popular binge model there's good news in
1:06
this headline from nexttv.com the answer
1:08
is no the article says everything all at
1:11
once releasing will remain a thing with
1:14
netflix and that's coming from netflix's
1:16
head of scripted content peter
1:18
friedlander says we fundamentally
1:20
believe that we want to give our members
1:22
the choice in how they view okay
1:25
understood but the question is why then
1:28
are some shows released all at once
1:30
while others are released in batches and
1:33
netflix has an explanation for that as
1:35
well from the same article freelander
1:38
says that it is about getting content
1:40
out to members quicker and in a quote he
1:42
referenced the mid-season break with
1:44
stranger things so here's the bottom
1:46
line based on this reporting netflix is
1:48
not abandoning the bench model but you
1:51
should expect mid-season breaks with
1:53
some shows what you don't have to worry
1:56
about is shows releasing one at a time
1:58
like hbo max does i would argue that
2:01
releasing one episode a week actually
2:03
can help a show build buzz and may help
2:05
reduce subscriber churn especially if
2:08
people are signing up for a service only
2:10
to watch one specific show and in my
2:12
previous video i suggested that netflix
2:15
may want to try a content release
2:16
strategy somewhere in between hbo max
2:20
one episode per week and what it's
2:21
currently doing releasing all episodes
2:24
at once so i suggested maybe three
2:26
episodes at a time but it does not look
2:28
like netflix is going in that direction
2:31
at all and judging by the comments on my
2:33
last video most of you are happy with
2:36
netflix's decision to stick with the
2:37
binge model and you do not want to see
2:40
it go away let me know your thoughts
2:42
down below in the comments and real
2:44
quick back to my point about quality
2:46
versus quantity and another article to
2:47
show you this one from the hollywood
2:49
reporter it provides insight into
2:51
netflix's strategy going forward bigger
2:53
movies better movies but releasing fewer
2:56
of them i've got two more netflix
2:58
updates for you real quick first the ad
3:01
supported plan then we'll talk about the
3:03
password sharing crackdown netflix now
3:05
says the cheaper plan with ads may
3:08
launch by the end of 2022 previously it
3:11
was reported that it could take a year
3:13
or two to get up and running and more
3:15
importantly commercial free plans are
3:18
not going away this is just going to be
3:20
a new cheaper option with ads and the
3:23
update on password sharing is that a
3:25
crackdown effort in a few markets
3:27
outside the u.s is apparently not going
3:29
so well at least not yet and it's
3:31
leading to a lot of confusion among
3:35
in those markets netflix has been
3:36
testing an additional charge for members
3:39
who share their account with people
3:41
outside of their household you know i'll
3:43
be following this test and we'll see if
3:45
it ever expands to the united states let
3:48
me know down below in the comments what
3:49
you think about these netflix changes
3:51
and your thoughts on update videos like
3:53
this one thank you for watching today
3:55
see you back here soon
