*body relaxes* I think that it is crazy from 9pm to 12am, Netflix accounts for 33% of all bandwidth in North America. It is hard to believe they use to be a DVD rental company! Their literally taking over the country.

*leans forward* I use Netflix, but I  just wish they'd have more of the shows that I like.
human
I agree, they could use a little more variety. I bet Blockbuster feels silly after declining several offers to buy Netflix for $50 million. I wonder if Blockbuster is still in business.
gpt
I don't think Blockbuster is still around. I also used to go to blockbuster all the time, it was great for that period in the 80's and 90's. But you're correct; they made a horrible mistake not getting into the streaming thing  like Netflix did. Do you use Hulu at all?
human
It really was massive mistake. Seeing as Netflix is worth $2 billion.  I don't use Hulu but I really want to try it. They are starting to become a competitor to Netflix. I really with Netflix would add live streaming.
gpt
Yep, I don't belong to Hulu either but also want to give it a try; yet you can't find anywhere the programs they have, so I shy away from it. I like a service that has older shows like Twilight Zone, Cheers, and things like Netflix has. I found a pirate one; but it's slow.

Yes, I am a fan of documentaries so I enjoy Netflix for the particular reason. However, my son is little and enjoys Disney so I would like to see more of that as well on there. They had 137 million subscribers as of October 2018. They should consider adding more content to keep them all. And stop raising prices.
gpt
I agree on Netflix's prices. I stopped getting the DVD's and for the last 2 years I just use their streaming shows. Not too bad, at less than 10.00 a month; but the site I use like I said is moviesin.co, no viruses I 've run across; but they have a ton of Disney stuff and other shows from the past.
human
I may consider looking into that. Speaking of shows and movies, the first eight Star Wars films were nominated for Academy Awards. They won the first two releases. Not many movies can say that. They have been truly successful in their franchise.
gpt
I've seen the first 3 Star Wars, and a little of the 4th; been meaning to check out the others, but just haven't. Are they as good as the earlier Star Wars films?
human
I haven't seen them! I need to watch them though. 20th Century fox thought Star Wars was going to be a flop. I bet they laugh at that now. 
gpt
Are they still the distributor of the Star Wars  films? If so, man have they made a few coins! First few of them were great entertainment!
human
You know I  am not sure. I'm a little embarrassed that I haven't seen them. James Earl Jones spent only 2.5 hours recording all of his Darth Vader lines and was paid $7,500. I bet he's super rich now. That's so interesting.
gpt
*lips slightly parted* I don't know your child, of course, but later on you could watch them together. I tend to watch things on Youtube as well (since it's free), and I've found a lot of good things there...and Netflix and Youtube make up half of internet traffic; I suppose other companies could learn something from that.
human
Yes we really love Youtube in our household too! Netflix even spends 20 times more on postage than bandwidth. They need to save their money and go green using the internet!
gpt
I believe your correct in that! Netflix executives have already noted that the streaming public prefers that type of service in lieu of DVD's. Heck....I can't even get my DVD players to work on my laptops...thus, I much prefer the streaming and instant gratification.
human
I think DVD players are becoming a thing of the past with new technology of streaming and live streaming. Its funny Reed Hasting was inspired to start Netflix after racking up $40 in late fees for VHS copy of Apollo 13. My how times change.
gpt
LOL....you're so correct. I remember my fines from Blockbuster and even the library from things I'd turn in late. That''s what I first liked about Netflix...no late fees. It's like they could care less when you turn them in. 
human
It's amazing! lol. I think it's interesting that in 2010 they made they decision to stream in Canada and then Latin America. Smart business move for sure.
gpt
*calm eyes* I agree....well thanks for the great chat on Netflix, Star Wars, and general entertainment. You'll have to give that website I gave you a try out. Have a great day....and keep smiling!
human
Enjoy your day!

You do the same!
