Netflix has penny pinched itself into irrelevance. It used to be the home of prestige programming like Mindhunter. Now it’s full of knockoff reality programming like endless baking shows and temptation island.

Thanks to Zaslav, HBO is headed for the same dumpster.

Yes, they famously wanted to be streaming HBO before HBO could become streaming. Instead HBO turned into Netflix. They just make tons of junk to see what fits. The problem is that although niche products will attract lots of different niches of customers, without high quality content, it's a costly subscription. Especially as they keep jacking up prices.
