Hopefully they spend more resources on better content. I personally find many netflix originals to be template series not worth watching unless you stretch your imagination well beyond sanity and suspend disbelief with the aid of some kind of medication.<p>Having said that, in my experience their app and streaming quality is just perfect. Unlike hbo’s. It would be a shame if these layoffs would be among tech departments because i imagine their engineering is awesome. As a bonus i read somewhere that they use freebsd and that’s a huge plus in my books. Shows that they understand tech well beyond the basics.

My credit card expired last month and I forgot to update Netflix with the new one. They remind me every time I open Netflix, but I haven't bothered to update it, since there is nothing I really want to watch myself, but mostly because nobody in my family has complained yet.
Most of the stuff they pump out is just nauseating. I don't blame them though, they will make a show about whatever current event or cultural item possible. People are mostly at home surfing on their phone with some background low grade show on netflix, puffing a nic stic or sipping a craft beer. It doesn't take much for people to keep paying the 20 bucks a month or whatever it is now. "Cheaper than a meal for 2 at mcdonalds"
