European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Who Else Noticed The Two Records Set By Lionel Messi In Barca’s Humiliating Loss by philfearon(op): 6:40am On Feb 20, 2021
Tuesday night Champions League match between FC Barcelona V PSG lived up to its billing as the tie of the round with a thrilling show, led by the ever ascending Kylian Mbappe. Watching the game from the beginning and up to the moment Messi scored the penalty, one would have said ‘here we go again’.

But, it didn’t go that way this time around; it went to the men from Paris. Apparently, FC Barcelona at this point has shown that the squad depth can’t compete at the biggest stages yet. Paris Saint Germaine finally broke the Camp Nou deadlock, humiliating Barca further and denting Barca’s hope of progressing further in the competition.

PSG may have taken the day, and Mbappe may have stolen all the headlines after the match; but, there is something else that happened in the match but was overshadowed by PSG’s victory.

· Messi’s goal against PSG is the 13th consecutive season that Lionel Messi has scored 20 goals in a single season.

· Also, the goal against PSG equaled Raul’s record of scoring at least a goal in Europe’s top competition for 17 consecutive years.

Though the night wasn’t meant for FC Barcelona, one thing we also know is that maintaining a high level of standard in the game of football is a hard thing to do judging from the intensity and demands of the round leather game. Every season, Lionel Messi sets a new record or breaks one. Maintaining a 20 goal contribution per season in the last 13 years is not a joke

This goes a long way in showing the jewel Barca have, and why they would go to any length to protect him. However, with the continuous subpar displays shown by Barca in recent times, one cannot help but wonder what will happen next in the Argentine wizard’s football career after his contract expires in the summer.

Well Well Well.

Nice Prediction.
Thanks bro.
Sports › Will PSG Finally Break The Camp Nou Curse Or Will It Be Another Lionel Messi Sho by philfearon(op): 7:31pm On Feb 16, 2021
I remember vividly in 2017 UEFA Champions League when PSG faced Barca at the Camp Nou with a 4 – 0 lead after they had massacred FC Barcelona at their stadium. I remember being so pissed at Barca that period; I never bothered to watch the return leg at Camp Nou. I guess I lost hope in my dear team.

As you already know, I woke up to the devastating score-line of 6 - 1 at around 2am the next day. Even though I knew Barca may likely win the game at home, qualifying for the next round seemed like a Herculean task due to the 4 - 0 score line. The score line I saw was unbelievable, so I had to ensure I wasn’t dreaming and entered online to confirm with the rest of the world.

I slept very early and unhappy because of that match, but was very happy as I logged into YouTube to view hundreds and thousands of Barca fans celebrating the victory all over the world in mad fashion. Their celebration only showed what I missed, because I would have run mad that day.

But, at the receiving end was Paris Saint Germaine. Apparently, FC Barcelona has turned to their new bogeyman. The 6 – 1 loss PSG suffered at the hands of FC Barcelona was not the first time Barca have dumped the French giants out of the top European competition. According to statistics, FC Barcelona has knocked out Paris Saint Germaine in the last three times both teams met in the UEFA Champions League thus:

· 2012-13 quarter-finals (3-3 Agg. away goals),

· 2014-15 quarter-finals (5-1 Agg.),

· 2016-17 round of 16 (6-5 Agg.).

One thing one cannot deny is the fact that this is definitely one of the high scoring games of the competition. The array of stars featuring in the fixture also makes the game a mouthwatering one. Will PSG finally overcome the bogeyman or will this be another Lionel Messi show?

FC Barcelona fans can bask in the euphoria of past records against the Parisian side. However, the other thing they can bask of is that their star player, Lionel Messi and the rest of the team have at least attained some form of stability before the game. Barca have not lost a single game in their last 8 matches now. However, much is still left to be desired at the defense which has been letting in a lot of goals this season. Can the defense survive the massive onslaught likely to be brought about by the 2020 Champions League Finalists? Will PSG handle the bogeyman this night by 9pm? We will see!

Romance › 5 Reasons A Serious Romantic Relationship Would Fail Before Even Starting by philfearon(op): 6:55am On Feb 14, 2021
No one gets into a serious romantic relationship to see failure. We are wired with the idea that romantic relationships fail as a result of really big issues like Cheating and Domestic violence, but, there are little things we overlook but are detrimental to even serious romantic relationships. You have hopes and dreams that the goosebumps feeling you had when you first met would always be till you are old and gray. Unfortunately, this does not always work.

But it’s possible to have a great relationship avoiding these known little things. Here are five known little reasons why a serious relationship will fail even before it gets started.

# 1 When your happiness completely depends on your partner

This is common in people who either have low self-esteem or very few good things in life. The problem is that it can put too much pressure on your partner. How? Your partner will always feel that he/she has such a huge role in your life and that without him/her you would just remain an unfortunate pile of tears. This form of addiction is not healthy in any relationship!

# 2 When there is a fit of uncontrollable jealousy.

If it’s you who is uncontrollably jealous, you will probably always be snooping to know how much your partner is loyal to you. When you encounter someone you consider a threat, you unleash an accusation gap. On the other side of it, if it’s your partner who is uncontrollably jealous, you may find yourself sacrificing your happiness to avoid being attacked by your partner. Either way, uncontrolled jealousy leads to suspicion – where you start suspecting each other.

Such a romantic relationship would be deficient in trust, and trust is a key ingredient in building long-lasting relationships.

# 3 Little lies that are being built.

A few white lies at the beginning of your relationship may be common. Of course, you want to put your best foot forward. However, it is also important that you avoid or prevent lies in the first place. When these lies arise, they can spin into a web of lies that you can no longer get out of. It will be a huge form of deception, even if it all started with one little white lie. When a romantic relationship is built on lies, it’s bound to fail.

# 4 Nitpicking each other’s mistakes.

Honesty is good in a romantic relationship. But, being too blunt about your partner’s mistakes all the time can make them feel like they are always under your constant control. Not only will you slowly injure their self-esteem, but you will also push them to the arms of someone who accepts their mistakes more. Therefore, if either or both people in a serious romantic relationship is/are mistakes nitpicker, the romantic relationship may fail.

# 5 Different/Conflicting goals.


As the romantic relationship gets deeper, it may appear clear that you have different and conflicting future goals with your partner. You may choose to focus on your career, while your partner would want to start a family soon. This could lead to conflict when it comes to making decisions in your life. If left uncompromised, a rift in your desires can end up causing a rift between the two of you. Therefore, a romantic relationship with persons with different and conflicting future goals is bound to fail.

Conclusion
These five little known reasons have been the cause of several breakups and divorces, even though the relationships seemed promising from the start. Therefore, putting these five little-known reasons into consideration, the occurrence of a failed romantic relationship can be possibly averted.

Education › Ten Internet Secrets No One Will Tell You by philfearon(op): 6:40am On Feb 06, 2021
Ten internet secrets no one will tell you.


This article is written to show you the basic secrets of the internet you should always bear in mind while you use it. Be properly guided at all times.

1) The internet is the world in a small digital space.

I'm guessing you already know this common internet secret. The internet is simply our world in a small space accessible to everyone.
You can simply stay in your home and travel round the world through the internet by simply using your phone connected to the internet.

The sweet thing about this privilege is the fact what is on the internet at the moment still does not measure a quarter fraction of the physical world. In other words, there is room for more, and it cannot be exhausted just like the physical world. Think of our world, imagine it in a digital space. The only difference is that this digital space allows man to explore in dynamic ways, creating breathtaking contents and value side by side.

Media giants like Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter have made it even a more smaller space. Anyone anywhere can easily connect to the internet instantly and know what is happening at any time in the world no matter where they are.

2) Internet Rules Our Lives Now!

That is the simple and honest truth. Things have not remained the same since the introduction of the internet on January 1, 1983. In just 37yrs of its existence, the internet has reshaped mankind in various unimaginable ways. You will be surprised at what you can do on the internet.

Like every other invention of man, it has its pros and cons. However, the pros of the internet far outweighs the cons.

Everyday, more people join the internet. That number will also continue to rise in the future as the big phone corporations continue to venture deeper into unexplored markets.

All the big aspects of man's life has been touched by the internet like entertainment, technology, science, politics, news, electronics, agriculture, education, commerce, literature, etc.

3) Search Engines Are the Internet Kings.

Being the chief aggregators of what is relevant or not relevant to your online search query, search engines are undoubtedly the king of the internet. Search engines to put it bluntly, control the flow of information on the internet. The only alternative to this is when you have a direct link to what you are searching for on the internet.

Bear in mind that most results on search engines are end results of internal company politics and search engine monetisation policies run by artificial intelligence.

4) Every big corporation is on the internet.

As you would expect, all the large corporations are also on the internet utilising the benefits and essential role the internet offers.

Outside the big corporations, every company is also going full digital. This has led to increase in internet based jobs. Governments all over the world are also going fully digital to breach the gap of service and serve their citizens better, efficiently and faster.

5) Internet never forgets.

This sounds like a cliché this days. However, in case you haven't heard it enough, the internet never forgets. You can take a simple look at all the careers and marriages it has destroyed. It has destroyed the careers and marriages of high profile personalities, including some of your favourite movie stars and musicians.

While using social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, etc, watch what you say or post. They have come back to haunt a lot of people in the future.

6) Virus, Malwares, spywares and Trojan horses are made to test firewalls.

Though there are hackers who specialise in terrorising internet users with malwares and the likes, the actual reason why the above internet threat's exist is to test firewalls.

Therefore, don't be surprised that there are viruses inside the internet. There are also companies who specialise in creating firewalls or destroying viruses, malwares, spywares and Trojan horses. That's how it works on the internet too. It's as if the one in the real world is not enough, we also have to create virtual ones to terrify ourselves any way we can. Virtual bullying is real in case you didn't know.

It can also escape from the internet to your physical world real fast. You can check this out by borrowing money online from those wonderful financial services providers who love you and want to help you by loaning you money. It can also lead to irreversible tears and life shattering consequences with just one click of that beautiful email from phishing scammers that look like one from your bank.

7) You can easily be tracked through the internet.

Everyone has a digital print on the internet called IP (internet protocol). You can also be tracked through your social media handles like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc.

Remember that each of the above mentioned media giants keep your private information secure, but if the court orders them to disclose it, they will.

cool All the best hackers work for the government or the big corporations.

Every other hacker is just playing it small to earn money too.
Here is a vital note to have in mind. Outside your immediate family circle, no one else is on the internet to play rockabilly with you.

9) The Internet is brutal.

Nothing gets the eyes rolling like the mention of "fraud" and "scam". If you think that people are fraudulent in real life, try the internet. It's so brutal inside the internet that the difference between you waking up one morning with a funny bank alert is just one click away. Another brutal truth? Mind how you share your details online as you continue to fill all those wonderful interest yielding deposit forms that looks too good to be true from universally certified money making experts.

10) The big corporations and governments control the internet.

As you already know, those who control the physical world we live in also control the digital. You can be anything you want to be inside the internet. However, if you misbehave or leave funny footprints on the internet, the government will probably pay you a secret visit. Don't forget that they also have specially trained officials who's only duty is to deal with transgressors like you.

11) The Internet Was introduced to share time between interconnected computers.
Today, it has metamorphosed to smartphones, and is actually fulfilling the purpose of its invention— time sharing.

As it stands, it's difficult to actually know who is sharing who's time. Us, or the internet?

•Bonus:

Apart from the websites accessible through the search engines on the regular internet, there is also two other aspects of the internet not accessible to the public except certain criteria's are met.
This are the deep web and dark web.

Deep webs are not accessible to search engines, and are mostly for paid customers which will require official signing in with appropriate verifiable credentials.

Everything you hear about the dark-web is probably true or just conspiracy theories. Inside the dark-web, specific softwares, some coded algorithms, high quality configurations or the right authorisation will grant you access to specific services that is too good to be hidden in that inner part of the digital space.
You can also call it the internet black market. According to statistics, the dark-web and deep-web make up 70-80% of the whole internet space.

You are the one taking L while trying hard to grasp straws.

Speaking about stock market that you don't understand.

You would have answered my question on if Zoom is a bigger company than Apple because it's price is more than double of Apple. cheesy

Disney + has already taken the number 1 spot in US from Netflix,and that is no Illusions cheesy
L! cheesy
TV/Movies › Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by philfearon(m): 4:18am On Jan 16, 2021
TheKingIsHere:
Bros, you are just contracting yourself.

You made a pointless comparison with Netflix, AT&T and Disney stock prices knowing fully well that their streaming services are not available on the stock market.

You didn't have a single stat, fact or data to back yourself that's why you brought in the stock issh.

I then showed you how flawed your comparison between the three companies and you tagging Netflix bigger than Disney and At&T because of share price.

Finally, if Disney+ or hbomax got listed on the stock exchange, you think their value will be low, especially with the fact that Disney+ is now number one in the US?

You don't need to spell anything out because you don't even understand what you're writing.

BTW, this was you again using Netflix bigger share price as a yardstick that Netflix is bigger than Disney+
vvvv



The way you have contradicted yourself in this argument eh.

Well, ww see the outcome far much later.

Peace
Lol. grin
Take your L in peace @TheKingIsHere!
You quote me, and then you start inputting what you didn't see in my post based on your assumptions. You Have Turned To Shifting The Goal Post!

Now your argument has turned to Stock Comparison! It's no longer about Disney+ and HBOMAX taking over the streaming war from Netflix!

You want to believe so hard in your illusions about Disney+ and HBOMAX, you have forgotten that Reality Is Disappointing. cool
TV/Movies › Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by philfearon(m): 7:35pm On Jan 15, 2021
TheKingIsHere:
If this is all you were saying, why did you make a comparison between Netflix, Disney and AT&T share price? Why bring it up in the first place?
Because you didn't know what you were saying!

I was showing where Netflix ranked with the parents Company of the Affiliates you are comparing Netflix with.

All you have been saying is "if Netflix don't sit up...Disney+ will take over... HBOMAX will do this one and that."

On my own, i have been pointing you to the spending power of Netflix and where they rank. But, you want me to spell everything out for you.

Guy, is Disney+ or HBOMax in the stock exchange?? undecided

This argument sef no get head again. undecided embarassed
Or you are probably misunderstanding.
Disney+ and HBOMAX are both affiliates under a parent company. All the hype about them both is just marketing. This is not hard to see na.

That is what the people comparing them to Netflix still don't understand.
TV/Movies › Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by philfearon(m): 3:33pm On Jan 15, 2021
TheKingIsHere:
You can see why I said you should stop attaching sentiments to this argument?

Now, see what you said initially;



You came here to boast that Netflix is twice bigger than Disney and AT&T combined due to stock price.

From this statement, you clearly stated that since Netflix is twice Walt Disney Company and AT&T stock combined, D+ and HBOmax are nothing near it since there are an arm of the companies.

And I clearly let you know that the stock price is not a valid argument here.

That's why I asked you, according to your stock price ideology, is Zoom as a company bigger than Apple since Zoom's price is more than twice of Apple's price in the NSE? I haven't gotten an answer from you on this.
You are just whining yourself bro.

My comments that you posted is very clear. Your mind is your limitation here because there are things i'm expecting should be obvious, but obviously, it's not.

I have been trying since the beginning to tell you that all this HBOMAX and Disney+ comparison BS with Netflix is just marketing. I don't know how else you want me to say it.

TheKingIsHere:
Bro, seriously you should take your own advise cos as it stands I have been the one educating you.

I have buttressed my points with facts, figures and stats. You on the other hand only provided stock price which is of not use in this argument.

For example, you claimed that because Netflix stock price is higher than Disney and AT&T, it bigger than the two. Yet, you have not provided the screenshot of each companies worth which I request that you do so. And, you say I should argue wisely. Lol

I will do you a favour by posting a screenshot of the net worth of Netflix, Disney and AT&T (shown in Pic 1, 2 and 3). And as you can see from the images, despite AT&T have a share price of $29.50, it's worth is still bigger than Netflix. Even Disney despite being affected by the pandemic, it's net worth is close to that of Netflix. So, you bringing out share price is actually pointless.


This here has no basis in this argument.



You saying "I don't understand that Netflix is like Hollywood itself" is another blind argument. Blockbuster entertainment was also seen as Hollywood before Netflix came, now Blockbuster is no more.

One thing you should understand, is that no one can stand on top forever. As it stands, Netflix just lost the number 1 spot in the US in 2020 (as shown in pic 4).


If netflix likes, let them release 1,000 movies. The question is are these movies 100% quality when compared to their competitors? Netflix released over 100 movies last year, yet, it didn't stop D+ from snatching US from them in 2020.


This is another blind argument, yet na you go dey say argue wisely.

Despite me being a DC fan, I have stated how D+ has dominated the streaming wars last year and even how they have wrestled the number spot in the US from Netflix. Does Disney now own DC?

The difference between you and I in this argument is that I argue with facts, you on the other hand keep arguing based on sentiments.



It's obvious you just started investing in the stock market because you have loooot to learn.

Elon Musk became the richest man in the world because he owns the largest share holding (20%) in Telsa (price is $800), once the price moves up his wealth increases. That's why he beat Jeff Bezos as the richest man despite Amazon share price is $3,127 (x4 of Telsa)..



Zoom is more than double the price of Apple in the stock market, will you now say because of the price, zoom company is far better than Apple? I seriously need you to answer this question.



The issue here is that you aren't seeing the big picture here.

Netflix knew that the major studios were coming on board the streaming service and folded their hands too long before they took any necessary steps. 2 years ago, Amazon quickly purchased a big franchise and spent $1bn for it (including production). Netflix was still looking.

Now, they are feeling the impact in the US and in other sub markets like the UK. They are now scampering to take actions by stopping a lot of unnecessary tv shows, slashing the number of movies produced per year and now bringing in top actors/actresses into their movies per year.

This is what they should have done long ago if they weren't watching D+ and HBOmax



Like i have said severally, Netflix is about to be booted from the number 1 spot WW (it was booted from the no 1 spot in the US in 2020).

If you still find it difficult to understand what the argument is again after this, then there is nothing else I can do.
Is Disney+ worth $130billion?
Is HBOMAX worth $250+billion?
Can any of them both worth $130billion in five years time, Expert Stock Investor?

But, dude, Netflix is worth $190billion+.

I have been avoiding spelling this out for you, hoping you will defer to logic. Argue wisely bro. It's not everything they spell out.

All you are doing is display zero knowledge of how the media works.

I swear... they are consolidating on CineMax original content.....now they've included CineMax biggest project recently Warrior to their Library. grin

One Area/Genre Where I think HBOMax should invest a bit more is Anime... That sector is really looking promising these days. Although they've got CrunchyRoll to satisfy Anime enthusiasts, I don't know much how many big titles they've got. Netflix has been seriously investing in Anime the past few years.
Yeah, Netflix have gone far in that regard.

The HBO and CINEMAX combo is a match made in heaven. It will pay off in the long run if properly managed.

HBOMAX is a Platform for people like Zack Snyder to bring out their best creative works due to the freedom they grant directors. Netflix always believed same and it has guided them well. Now, both streaming platforms are waiting for the debut of Justice League (HBOMAX) and Army of the Dead (Netflix) to solidify further reassurances on him.

With HBO and CINEMAX doing their thing, Zack and Co will spearhead DC properties. DC Films will finally start being DC Films. We the fans win! grin

Education › Does Marijuana Alter The State Of Consciousness? by philfearon(op): 7:29am On Jan 15, 2021
This is a question a lot of people will love to really see what the answer is. However, it is not an easy question to answer. Before we proceed, let us look at the meaning of consciousness. We will also look at the ways smoking marijuana interacts with the body immediately the THC is inhaled into the body. THC is the chemical compound that causes the 'highness' or euphoria people experience when they smoke marijuana.

What is consciousness?


Consciousness has to do with the state of being aware of your immediate environment, internally and externally. According to Dictionary.com, consciousness is

"the state of being aware of and responsive to one's surroundings". So, it's not just being aware of your immediate surroundings, you also need to have the capacity to respond to stimuli.

Having known this definition of consciousness, do you think that smoking marijuana alters the consciousness of the smoker? The answer to this question lies in the simple fact that the state of our body is always adjusting to what it is being fed at all times. What does this mean?

It means that if you eat beans for instance, it is going to alter your state of consciousness and cause you to release some gas. This is not something a person will normally do. But, each time you eat beans, there is a tendency that you are going to release a lot of gases, and it may be at odd times. It may even create embarrassing moments for the person if not properly coordinated.

Back to the question. Marijuana is known to contain THC - Tetrahydrocannabinol. This compound contains chemicals that attaches itself to the body's neurotransmitters, quickly assimilating into the body system. In the medical world, THC is designated as a psychoactive drug.

From Wikipedia:


"A psychoactive drug, psychopharmaceutical, or psychotropic drug is a chemical substance that changes nervous system function and results in alterations in perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, or behaviour."

Some marijuana consumers do admit that it alters their consciousness in some way. However, since everyone is living a unique experience, it is hard to imagine the particular state of consciousness been referred to. Some report getting well needed rest, while others report about pain relief. Some others report about their creative genius been amplified after smoking marijuana. To some, it might be an escapist affair, while to some others, marijuana helps them forget about their life problems or create solutions to them through more introspection.

In the end though, i guess we can rightly say that the alteration lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Guy, you are the one who isn't arguing wisely but out of sentiment.

Google out the company worth for Netflix, Disney and AT&T and post it here so that we can all see if it correlates with the price of the stocks.

Zoom price is double the price of apple in the stock market. So, according to your analysis, zoom has far more worth than Apple, abi? cheesy

I can explain how the stock market works (but it ain't free)
Correlation! That's why i asked you to argue wisely.

Some things are pretty obvious and needs just common sense to understand. But, let me educate you.

In football, every upcoming talented footballer is likened to Lionel Messi. Why? The answer is obvious, isn't?

Disney+ and HBOMAX can only make their marketing stronger by linking Netflix into the mix. Your problem is that you don't understand that Netflix is like Hollywood unto itself at the moment.

Check the calendar for the year. How many series/movies did you see in Disney+ and HBOMAX template?

Now, compare That with Netflix. Did Netflix make all the movies/series coming to their platform in 2021 last year? Just because you are DC Fan doesn't mean you should start wading into things you practically have zero knowledge about.

Of course, you should know by now that a public company is as good as their stock. How do you think Elon Musk became the richest man on earth at the moment? It's because Tesla stock rose.

Netflix has one of the best performing stocks in the market at the moment. Their stock is bigger than both Walt Disney Company and AT&T combined. Their only business is just digital streaming and nothing else.

Does it make sense to you that as Disney+ and HBOMAX entered the streaming service, Netflix will just sit and watch them? It's simply common sense that Netflix will up their game.

Which is why I want to know exactly what your argument is about since more months now.

Regards.

You keep forgetting HBO is the King of Original Content anywhere. They've got the Name,. They got the Track record...and now they're Getting the money and the backing. grin
If you look at HBO lists carefully you'll see they are very varied with content and Genre and the same time maintaining the Best quality industry wide.
HBO's top 10 shows have nothing in common.

I saw two recent projects from HBO and I was wowed that's when I came to the conclusion and conviction: "No One Can Usurp HBO's Post as Pacesetter for Top Notch quality projects". Check out
Raised By Wolves
Lovecraft Country

Those two have potential to be biggies especially LC.

HBO still has the potential to turn old unoriginal projects into Critical Hits and Cult following.... exhibited by what they did with Watchmen. Who taught Watchmen could be portrayed that way. cheesy
Look at Chernobyl and Euphoria. Their shows packs the Awards year in year out. grin

These peeps could create something outta nothin. grin
Yes, you are correct bro.

When you add CINEMAX to the mix, it's even more original galore. Which is why it is understandable that Warner Bros lumped the two together into one. grin

As you can see, Netflix stock is 2 times bigger than both Walt Disney Company and AT&T stock combined. Both Disney+ and Hbomax are just one of the ventures of both companies. I hope you get the point?

Argue wisely!

Not really, youtube came out long before Netflix but youtube almost have similar download numbers with Netflix in 2020. And if you looked closely, even hulu app made more money than Netflix in the US in 2020.



Numbers of subscribers in the WW;

Netflix (Age 8-10years) - 200m-220m
Disney plus (Age 1year+) - 88m-100m

Looking at this info, tell me which stat is surprising?



I am not disputing this as this is all streaming service ideas and goals



The argument is simple and clear. Netflix will end up losing the streaming wars (especially that number one spot) if they don't sit up like crazy. Currently, they are number one streaming service WW but will be knocked out of that position soon if they don't wake up.

*We already saw that Netflix is already sitting up by scrapping a lot of their tv shows, reducing the numbers of their movies and now focusing on big budget movies per year with top rated actors/actresses. Netflix is highly aware of the huge threat the big studios portray in the war*



Lol, despite Youtube being known WW and being around for years (close to 2 decades), their YouTube red streaming service (youtube's exclusive movies and tv shows service) is as good as DEAD due to the fact that there are bigger boys coming into the streaming service. Youtube sold cobra kai to Netflix because their SVOD (for movies and shows) is dead.



Not backlash but facts bro.
Lol.

You are just speculating based on your own assumptions. You talk like you have insider information about Netflix, Hollywood and the long term business plan Netflix work with.

You keep talking about what is obvious. "If they don't sit up!" Lol. Did you seriously type that?

If you have been following Netflix for the past six years, you won't be showcasing this limited knowledge of things you are doing.

Lmao!!! Abeg o!

Lol, guy you are too emotional. Go and check facts and stats and know why Netflix is doing this..

What you are seeing here is Netflix trying to step up to the big studios.

They can no longer try the BS of releasing 120 crappy unknown movies per year again, rather, they trimmed it down to 70 movies per year with top notch actors/actress.

What is happening is a reaction to the fact that they are slowly losing the streaming wars.

Disney+ has already displaced Netflix as the most downloaded app in 2020 in the US, even HBOmax that came out much later was very close to it.

Also, D+ app made far more money that Netflix app that has been there for years..Even HBOmax app almost made same amount with Netw=flix in the US...


However, for now Netflix is still the most downloaded app WW, but once D+ and HBOmax are fully integrated WW, Netflix might end up like blockbuster.

Time will tell sha.

Obviously, Disney+ and Hbomax will get higher number of downloads of recent because they're both new. Aren't you surprised at the number Netflix is still getting despite it's many years in the industry?

The objective of Netflix at the moment is feeding their millions of users as well as attracting new ones. They're doing perfectly fine in both.

I really don't understand what your point is. What exactly are you saying? That Netflix will die because Disney+ and HBOMAX entered the streaming industry? With all the thousands of streaming sites/app in the world, YouTube is still functional and continues to grow.

So, remind me again. Whats with the constant backlash at Netflix?
