Streaming services such as Netflix have come under heat from recent changes within the company.

Over the years more and more streaming services have been popping up and creating competition for the first really big streaming service, Netflix.

“Netflix is going downhill because most shows on there aren’t outstanding anymore and other streaming services are starting to gain more popularity because of the content they’re adding while Netflix is taking them away,” sophomore Brandon Boyle said.

Netflix is starting to lose its following and buyers because of the increase in cost and recently they’re changing a bunch of things like charging accounts for password sharing. Their new system will tack on expensive fees for “extra members” or subaccounts if someone outside of their house uses the account.

“I used to think Netflix was amazing then they started taking away all the good shows and movies so I started going to other streaming sites like HBO Max and Amazon Video,” sophomore Tristen Biggs said. Previously, Netflix has not been known for its original series, but they still have good content that some people might not know about. Netflix’s new wifi policy was implemented to ensure that your devices are associated with the primary location, and you will have to connect to the wifi once every 31 days and watch something to not get locked out.

“No Netflix isn’t necessarily a bad streaming service just because it doesn’t have more mainstream shows like Mandalorian or a lot of new marvel movies coming out. They have more lesser-known movies and their originals are pretty good. It may not be as good as Hulu or Disney+ but they have a wide variety of movies and shows you usually wouldn’t see,” sophomore Donovan Selvey said.
