If you don't have your own Netflix account, you are probably using a friend or family member's to access the popular streaming service. But if you don't watch Netflix at all, who even are you and what are you doing with your weekends?
To illustrate what you're missing out on, let's take a look at the Facebook page "Netflix Memes", a fun online project with nearly 550K followers that perfectly describes what having a subscription to this platform is really like.

IIRC, it was only stopping main programming being quiet and then commercials being ear-splittingly loud and not about the sound within the main programming being consistent.
Load More Replies...I know right! My life changing invention would be a tv that you can fix the maximum volume. Not the number, the actual decibel.
Worst offender are the obnoxious Kevin Hart commercial where all he does is scream.
it happens with some channels with commercials, too. We'd be watching a movie then a commercial comes on that's at 10000x the volume. Would wake everyone in the house up.
Then there's the movie Annihilation. Its volume was so low that I had to turn up my computer's usual 30 to 100% AND sit within 2 feet just to hear most of the dialogue.
As funny as these memes are, I think the mood at Netflix is a lot more serious. The company is taking a beating on Wall Street. Shares of the streaming giant have plummeted 52% since reaching record highs in November 2021. So far, 2022 has not aided the slump, with the price down a whopping 45% year-to-date.
"The concern is the growth outlook," Dave Heger, Edward Jones senior equity analyst, told Yahoo Finance Live, citing the company's disappointing subscriber outlook as a catalyst for the sell-off.
This is why all book adaptions need to be shows instead of movies that end up cutting out 50% of the book.
The producers should have to consult me prior to casting. I assign all of the parts as I read the book. It's absolutely disgraceful how often they make the wrong choices.

And oh so relatable. He did an interview where he talked about having depression.
Load More Replies...A new guy at work looks quite like Mark Ruffalo. He's really laid back and friendly too. Rather that than he Hulk out and smash up the place.
I love Paul Rudd finally "fan boying" behind Mark Ruffao. Just as adorable
Yes, and he's equally talented to all of the people in the photos, if not more so.
In its latest earnings report, Netflix said it expects to add 7 million paying members in the current quarter, short of the 7.82 million consensus analysts expected. That would also mark a 27% decline from the 9.6 million subscribers Netflix added in the year-ago quarter, which had been an all-time high for quarterly paid net additions.
Still, Heger pointed out that now might be a good time for investors to buy the dip.
"The valuation is now looking more attractive than what we saw last year," the analyst said. He added that current market levels are providing a "good opportunity to be buying the shares."
Me too - I'm secretly hoping one day I'll know someone and catch a killer.
Load More Replies...Peter Thomas's voice is so soothing. The new narrator can't compare.
Load More Replies...I am in my 30s and still can't watch gore or torture. Anything else...I'm game. Lol
I was going to say this sounds like falling in love with a broadcast network sci-fi series.
Load More Replies...Then finding out that absolutely awful show, so bad you couldn't even finish it has been renewed for series 2, 3 and 4.
Few of my favorite shows are those that got cancelled, I would have obviously liked them to finish them, but maybe one of the reason those shows have not disappointed me, is because the showmakers couldnt fck up the ending when there is no ending :D
That is true. Like, I loved Supernatural, but that show just ran WAAAAAY too long. The story lines got weirder and weirder. I mean, how many times can you save the world? What horrors can someone do to you when you've been tortured in hell? What can be worse than the monsters in season 6? (the monsters in season 7... and 8... 9... 10...).
Load More Replies...I'm still mad about The OA. That second season got CRAZY and we'll never know how it ended 😡
Not a movie but there are loads of Star Trek actors who had bit parts in Murder, She Wrote.
I think every US actor (and many from other places) had bit parts in that, British actors you find in Midsomer Murders and Casualty, and Scottish actors were all in Taggart at some point (except David Tennant)
Load More Replies...Check out George Segal in his first lead in who's afraid of Virginia Woolf
I just spotted the Precinct Sargent from Adam-12 in a two line role on Highway Patrol.
"Certainly there's been some question of what is the longer-term growth outlook for Netflix, and those expectations have been pulled back quite a bit, [but Netflix remains] a company where we still see opportunity" for worldwide subscriber growth, Heger continued.
The analyst went on to credit the streaming giant's expanded presence in international markets, in addition to its ability to raise prices to account for "growing content and the growing value of its service" as upside potential for further market penetration and success.
Did they not say “fast” when they said “Fast10 Your Seatbelts”? Ik ik, could have been faster.
Load More Replies...As an asexual- completely agree, and I don't even like movies that much lol
Load More Replies...Ahh..that should hurt... if she wanted movies, I bet she'd have just asked for the pass. Why come all the way. So I believe what Netflix said makes sense.
all I want for cristmas is youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
🤬 as a former seasonal retail worker this is the most annoying Christmas song in the world 😆
Load More Replies...On another note, I just read today that Netflix is going to put an end to shared accounts.
especially when you're the one who recommended the movie
Load More Replies...Or look at the stain and wonder when you going to clean it.
Load More Replies...Or when people walk in and just now the sex scene is on. (No I'm not watching porn, it a regular movie)
When I was a kid and a sex scene or something would come on, my dad always went "Eww gross, mushy stuff!" and covered his face. I did the exact same. So my parents got to watch rated R movies without fear but now I can't watch romance movies because I have been so well trained to avert my eyes at the slightest indication of affection and feel incredibly uncomfortable. Thanks Dad, it was well worth it because I loved watching movies with you.
The platform has also pursued mergers and acquisitions in order to compete within the crowded media landscape. Compared to its streaming counterparts, Netflix "has been a little more active on the M&A front," Heger highlighted.
"As of late, the company appears to be wanting to add content within the gaming space, and they've talked much more about raising its profile in online gaming. That's a new way to add value to Netflix subscribers and could perhaps help justify the price increases that they have made over time," he explained.
Add some video games too, and it’ll be perfect for me
Load More Replies...And I get so frustrated with platforms that DON'T have this feature!! LOL! I'm like "HULU, get with the program!!"
Must be a neurotypical thing. I never, ever skip credits. If Captain Picard isn't there to tell me the mission of the Starship Enterprise, who will?
this would really help in real life too, with social anxiety. "hi! how's your day today?" "SKIP INTRO"
Yep. My husband has just restarted The Witcher in order to study up for Season 2.
Yup, currently rewatching Stranger Things with my daughter in preparation for season 4.
Load More Replies...I'm thinking my husband and I should rewatch the entire last season before Better Call Saul releases its next season. Sheesh.
I so hate it when they take forever to come out with the next season. That happened with The Man In The High Castle. Season 1 we binged over a weekend. One year later when season 2 was finally released we had a brand new baby so season 2 (and any following seasons) we didn't see. Just for the record I wasn't even pregnant yet when we watched season 1.
In the US, the company’s standard plan rose to $15.50 per month earlier this year.
But prices for Netflix services have steadily gone up. The standard plan went to $14 per month from $13 in late 2020, after previously rising to $13 from $11 in 2019. Prior to that, Netflix raised prices in 2017 and 2015.
Interestingly, when the company announced its first wide-scale price increase in 2014, it was so worried about losing subscribers over a $1 per month bump that it let existing members keep their price for two years. It hasn’t offered such a generous perk in the years since, though.
This is why I have watched all 50 years of Midsomer Murders 4 times. (No longer on Netflix, unfortunately.)
I like that show. I watch it here on PBS occasionally.
Load More Replies...my cousin is like 6 she want all the smoke now that she think she 20
Load More Replies...Or that you actually had to snail mail the dvds back in the day and wait 3 days for a new one
The oldest "millennial baby" is about 40 years old. So yeah, many many people "understand" this. I remember having VHS tapes of films recorded off of the telly!
I am worried about this new Batman. I cannot imagine him being any good.
Supposedly he does a fantastic job...too bad my brain will forever have him pegged as sparkly Cedric Diggory so I'll never be able to enjoy it.
Load More Replies...I find this even more funny because I'm reading Twilight for the first time.
And when you realize your favourite TV show was cancelled w/o a proper ending.
I have cried probably too many times because of this. I'm already sad there's no need to make it worse. But of course if it didn't happen then I would still cry.
When it plays no theme and has no intro but the skip intro button is still there 😭
(and I never even finished that show but goddamn... What a theme-song!)
Load More Replies...But right now, many businesses are experimenting with price increases to combat inflationary headwinds.
Despite fears of an impending recession, Heger theorized that Netflix has the capacity to weather any economic storm, as consumers generally cut out-of-home entertainment first.
"At least historically, we've seen in the traditional pay-TV world that subscribers tend to hold on to at-home entertainment ... even in more difficult times," he concluded.
Why do we do that we be like don't start the movie let me fix my food then eat it in 5 minutes and have to sit with the plate for a hour and a half
I get this but If you dont havea list in your mind of tv shows for just this and any reason, you're doing it wrong. I got shows for every sitch
I am guessing because Squid Game was on Netflix.
Load More Replies...Master class: when you open the door of your microwave exactly in the moment it turns to 00:00 so it beeps only for 0.01s.
I have a ghost that always changes the clock to military time. It happened even after I bought a new microwave.
Both me and my husband are like, "Oh, it's that guy! From that show! With the pony!" And then we spend 10 min on IMDB trying to find out where we know the actor from.
SAME! And we go through the list like 'no, we'd never watch that', 'neh, that was just one episode', 'OH he was the lead in this series we watched for 3 years'.
Load More Replies...I have this super power that let's me know the whole movie's plot's by seeing. pic's and trailer's
Lol me and my dad are like that, and it annoys the crap out of my mom. It's the funniest thing
My husband & I are always like, "He's that guy who did that thing that time". What's really scary is we pretty much always know who it means.
I was at my mom's house once and she was watching Last Of The Summer Wine and there was an actor with a bit part and I thought about it for days and was about to give up and start searching online and then I suddenly remembered - he was the guy who told the joke in the tavern in American Werewolf In London. I felt like a super genius.
If I need to do anything around the house I will turn on a show, or a movie, that I have seen before for two reasons: 1)To have something on in the background. 2) To not have to worry about missing something while it's playing.
I think I've seen all episodes of Friends about 5 times for this reason.
Load More Replies...I'm also content with shows that have a specific formula, like 'there is a murder, they find clues, they think A did it, they find more clues, it was B, everyone's happy' or 'friends are together, some misunderstanding happens, everyone laughs, it is resolved' or 'the main character NEVER DIES'.
mine's different.. I do have anxiety but I don't like rewatching stuff...If something is too suspenseful, I'll google what happens after...It's how I found out about ned stark...horrible day that one..
I don't read new novels anymore. I'm not wasting my time reading something I might not like when I know The Hobbit is good.
I keep re listening to same audiobooks, i just realised i might have problems:(
Load More Replies...I'd rather watch TV from the 50s-70s because almost all of today's shows are depressing as crap.
While Netflix has about 222 million total subscribers, its competitors are still breathing down the company's neck. Larger conglomerates like Disney (which also owns Hulu and ESPN) have continued to expand at a more aggressive pace. Disney ended 2021 with 179 million total subscribers across Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+, and it plans to double the number of countries that Disney+ is available in by 2023. Disney also announced the creation of an International Content and Operations group to expand its direct-to-consumer streaming internationally.
Don’t mind the ghost, he’s friendly (most of the time)
Load More Replies...I've been trying to save for a downpayment for like 10 years. You think some ghosts are going to scare me? I'm a woman- I know how to get blood out of stuff. I'd have that crazy Annabelle doll doing dishes and laundry since she likes sneaking around the house. She's made of plastic I'm not that scared. And the girl from the ring could come out of the tv and help out with the vacuuming since she's looking down already. Ghosts ain't gonna scare me out of a great deal. I've met people in real life who act crazy as hell so I can deal with that; if someone gets possessed we can use the money we save to get a good therapist.
Seriously! And then something weird happens and everyone's like "Oh it's probably fine that the creepy bloody doll moved its head towards us."
Will you look at this place. And the price has been slashed repeatedly. Wife : It's sure built solid. The kids could scream bloody murder and no one would hear. Husband : Well, I'm just going to spill my guts. I love it to death. I'm going to give you a deposit this minute.
I want to see the movie where the family is like "Well, the walls are bleeding, but it's affordable and close to the school. We're staying."
It's even weirder when it's the opposite! Watching a movie that killed you slowly with every minute and every word of dialogue, and finding out that people think it's the best thing ever...
Every Quinten Tarrontino movie for me. Or anything with Leonardo DiCaprio.
Load More Replies...TWILIGHT! To be fair, I read the books first and I KNOW the acting was terrible!
Employee of the Month with Jessica Simpson and Dane Cook is hilarious. Don’t @ me
Very little new stuff. Netflix (and most of the streaming services) show a lot of movies that had been on regular tv in the past.
A patron while I was bartending yesterday, “You must be drinking more, you put on a bit of weight.” My reply, “No, I was on a 4 day Netflix binge, while smoking a s**t ton of pot 😁”
Netflix, however, keeps its momentum by increasing the amount of original content.
Compared to other streaming platforms, you can't beat its slate of original TV shows that are now considered among the best of the modern era of television, including global hits like Stranger Things, The Queen's Gambit, and The Crown.
Many of which have produced plenty of funny memes as well!
Poor thing! Is this a real cat or is his face photoshopped? He looks really ill
😂 My cat would nurse off my neck and used to do this FOR YEARS! She'd lay on my chest and just start sucking on my neck, likely as a comfort measure but when she would finally lift her head up from doing this after 5 or 10 minutes, she would look exactly like this cat - a little drunk or stoned, messy fur, wild eyes, drool smeared across her face 🤣
Really? You should google him sometime. He's not a good person.
Load More Replies...Spoiler alert, he isn't anyone's favorite "superhero," if you'd even call him that.
He's part of a right-wing church, Hillsong, that has been pretty shitty regarding the LGBT community. He also just seems to be pretty right-wing in general, refused to condemn Trump ever while his costars were vocally against the crap he pulled as president. Then, he recently made a comment when his new wife, Arnold Schwarzenegger's daughter, gave birth to their kid and said something along the lines of "I'm so grateful to have a healthy child" which rubbed a lot of people the wrong way considering his son, Jack, with Anna Faris, was born extremely premature and has had lifelong health issues and disabilities.
Load More Replies...I wonder if those are paparazzi photos. If so, I don't think I've ever seen a celebrity react that way.
Screw you Daniel!!! Captain America is awesome!! The only reason he isn't my favorite is because almost all the others are as awesome too!
He really could have doubled the universes resources, then the Avengers would help him
Load More Replies...Same! I once hid in the bathroom to finish the last 7 chapters of a book I was reading 😂
Load More Replies...The difference would be the climactic moment every 20mins rather than at the 1hr40mins mark. At least I think so.
and plenty of opportunities to go get more snacks/go to the bathroom without losing the flow.
Load More Replies...It is ALWAYS the same films and documentaries that are shown. Has Netflix really only got 20 different programmes? The has got to be a better way of seeing what they have got.
When my husband goes into his account I'm shocked by all the different content that Netflix suggests to him versus what they show me. Stuff I'm interested in but had no idea was even on Netflix.
Load More Replies...It would take less time if the carousels did not reset every time I check the synopsis of a film/show
My wife LOOOOOVES scrolling trailers. I think more then seeing the movies.
Yup. In Indian soap operas, they show a poor or lower middle class family with their so-called small house bigger than your own house and furniture that might belong in some mansion..
Everyone knows you should shave your full body before committing a crime.
and find a random hairbrush in the trash so you can leave someone else's hair at the crime scene.

Or when you chastise the murderer by saying, "everybody knows you shouldn't do (fill in the blank)." Lol!

It's a photoshop. That's not even Leo DiCaprio's Twitter handle.
Load More Replies...Omg happened the other day. I rewound four times before I actually paid attention.
Yeah, I rewind too much, don't pay attention because I already saw this part...then keep not paying attention when the new part comes on.
Load More Replies...Have you ever gotten so frustrated by the slow pace that you looked it up online and read the wiki?
And then you get frustrated the movie or book are to small, insignificant to have a wiki? I like audiobooks but some are so low key they have almost 0 info about on the net lol
Load More Replies...And what language I use when speaking to my husband!
Load More Replies...So does my accent My son told me at my last visit that I had been watching too much "call the midwife", because I was picking up a weird southern us/ British accent. My daughter chimed in, "yes mom always does that. When she watches Steel Magnolias she sounds funny too." I called my barrister and took them from will.
I subconsciously take on the accents of whichever show I was last watching. Gets me in trouble sometimes when people think I'm being racist or mocking them but it's honest not even something I'm aware of! I just like the different ways people talk! I think all accents are Interesting and beautiful and I just mimic them without thinking.
My husband and I really thought we were Latinos after Queen of the South!
My brother is sitting next to me and show him this picture saying “Look, (insert name), we found your long lost brother!!”
The trick is to stop in the middle of an episode when something boring is happening. You know the episode's end is 90% of the time a cliffhanger.
i bingewatched "anne with an e" for two days and i sat on my couch with my dog. pizza and chips also. that was literally the only true comfort i'll ever get in my life
If I wake up and don't immediately want to die, I know I've slept thru my alarm and am now late for work.
And then you wake up and it's been two hours since you went to bed
That idea is amazing! Maybe having it charging at the same time is handy as Snapchat drains my battery :)
Actually, something about that filtered image is more disturbing to me 🤔
I turn the sound way down and the captions on. Without the creepy music it's way sillier.
Hey, I do the same! It really works…It takes your mind if things and gives you clarity or it doest it for me
After 29 years together, this is the one thing my husband still does not understand about me...
24 yrs here and my husband always says I'm researching ways to murder him then I say no I'm learning how to spot if you're trying to murder me lol. Of course this is not serious.
Load More Replies...I do not understand this. Do you people have low empathy or something? I can't stop thinking about all the real people who have lost their loved ones.
For this I use films with blood dripping from screen and guts flying around. It helps.
ah, so doom glory kill compilation?
Load More Replies...This is why I prewatch movies my hubby wants to watch now. He doesn't seem to understand that I am watching the same thing as him and only know as much as he does.

A long time ago, texting meant the other person had to text back and pay for parts of the communication. Nowadays, in some cases, it's quicker to talk than to type.
Load More Replies...We call because we are ole' school and like to hear your voice. We want to hear your tone and inflections. We want to be sure you are okay because we like/love you.
I was thinking about work related moments and "like/love" really caught me by surprise
Load More Replies...If someone calls, you have to pause the show. If someone texts, you can keep watching
Load More Replies...my heart starts beating faster than it probably should when a phone rings
"Oh my gosh what do I do I don't wanna call but I can't just reject them why right now"
Load More Replies...Long before this became the standard, I tried to get people to text because I wouldn't remember where we were gonna meet in 3 days or what we had agreed to do.
I call because while calling I can do house shores. When I start to text at 20 o'clock to 3 different people, suddenly it's 1 o'clock and the house is a mess
For a kinda brief moment, I thought "hmm. Fancy artichokes". I'm so stupid.
How are chips always so much louder than the show no matter the volume.
No! I'm always going to choose my bed over any outing! The only exceptions are my sons (whatever they want to do), my husband (some exceptions apply), a once a year event (quince, graduation, MAYBE a birthday party I haven't been to in years), or a house fire. My food is here, my computer is here, my pups are here and I have hot water. Why the hell would I willingly leave?? Also, I have a KILLER bed! It's one of those Purple mattresses that you can make the head and foot go up or down, so I no longer need a ton of pillows. I mean, I still do, but I don't NEED them anymore to sit comfortably
Mine is more like pay day looks like 3 days after, and my 3 days after is just a dumpster fire. My money is gone before i even get it...

Again: Stop in the middle of the episode, where there is a boring filler. A lot easier.
Finding a new video store because you owe Blockbuster's late fees (it would've been cheaper to buy the movie)...
I remember Friday nights at Blockbuster. We'd go get a movie and maybe a game and watch it in the living room-> I had 4 brothers (3 stepbrothers and one bio) and a ton of dogs (Rottweilers and poodles; great mix) and we'd camp out in the living room. Probably my favorite memory
Until you went for just THAT ONE movie and you see a wall of them only to find out those were just the display cases. The let down was an experience.
now you have 2 options: keep with the argument you misunderstood or accept defeat
I will never accept defeat. I will continue to baffle them with my b******t until I have won.

This is extremely accurate lol. Then there's a clip of an old video of them constantly telling her husband to stop filming her in the sweetest way ever. In real life when people try to film me I glare and try to slap the thing out of their hands.
My dad does this ALL THE TIME. He'll look down at his laptop for 10 min. and then quiz us on what's going on... 😤😠
Well, not really, she's been deported back to Germany and the people she ripped off are getting their 15 minutes of fame. So there's that.
