Lmao more content doesn’t literally = better, otherwise you could take that to the extreme and just upload random hour-long videos of paint drying on the studio walls or something. Netflix has clearly taken the quantity over quality approach and is now getting burned a bit for it, both in long-term brand image and short-term Wall Street metrics. Disney is now feeling the effects of this too where we’re starting to see that the average consumer no longer sees the “Marvel” and “Star Wars” brands as special and “event-worthy” bc of the 27 Disney+ series they release each year for each franchise.

Disney is blatantly gunning to win the streaming wars race, or at least be left standing with Netflix and 2-3 others when the “streaming bubble” inevitably pops in a couple years, so perhaps they have no choice. But other studios have recognized this and that’s why you don’t see Universal developing Jurassic World or F&F series for Peacock, for instance.

Apple TV+ is also clearly playing the “quality over quantity” approach, and yeah they’ve had to be patient bc they had no back catalog, but their patience (in not rushing out dogshit) is being rewarded with people finally coming around to seeing that almost all of their shows are at least good, maybe as many as 1/3 are brilliant, and their subscriber count is going up as a result.
