76% Of Netflix Subscribers Think Netflix Can Replace Traditional TV (cordcutting.com)

Posted by msmash on from the cord-cutting dept.

An anonymous reader writes: It turns out plenty of people think Netflix is ready to replace their traditional TV. According to a survey on AllFlicks (Editor's note: the site is Netflix focused, so it's not really a neutral audience), 75.6 percent of Netflix subscribers said that the on-demand movies and TV shows streaming service has grown good enough to replace whatever the traditional TV has to offer. The participants, however, also noted that the streaming service still can't replace live sports coverage or the experience of the movie theater. In some other news, Netflix knows which picture and video you're likely to click.

    We haven't been to a theatre in a couple of years. The "commercials" that are now common are annoying. As are other patrons who can't seem to figure out that when they ask people to turn off their cell phones that it applies to everyone.

    Of course there is also the issue that to us most of the movies suck.

    they started cutting their movie selection and wasting money on a handful of self-made shows instead.

    Netflix didn't cut their movie selection, the studios did. Netflix would be perfectly happy to show you every movie ever made if they could.

    Also, their own shows are sufficiently successful (both commercially and critically) that for you to call that a "waste" is objectively wrong in every sense.

    Slap? Heck, first I'd get all the men and ugly broads to leave the room... You can imagine what happens next.

    The pretty girls would still ignore you, just as they do now.
