Netflix loses almost a million subscribers in three months – BBC News
Netflix lost almost 1m subscribers between April and July, as the number of people quitting the service accelerated.
But that was not as many as the streaming giant had feared, with the firm’s chief executive, Reed Hastings, saying that popular shows such as Stranger Things may have prevented a further slide in subscriptions.
The company reported its first subscriber loss since 2011 in April, news that was followed by hundreds of job cuts and a sharp drop in its share price.

How can you spend years paying off your student loan and still owe more than you borrowed?
Ten years ago, the first Plan 2 borrowers started repaying their student loans. Since then, graduates who left university with similar debts have found themselves on very different financial paths.
The amount you earn affects how much you repay, how much interest builds up and whether you’ll ever clear your balance. BBC Education Correspondent Hazel Shearing investigates why so many graduates are frustrated with the system and what their student loan really means for their future.

Ex-gang boss Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced for orchestrating Tupac Shakur’s murder | BBC News
Former gang boss Duane “Keffe D” Davis has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for orchestrating the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur in a drive-by shooting in 1996.
The key evidence in the case were Davis’ own words, in which he repeatedly and publicly acknowledged being inside the white Cadillac from where the deadly shots were fired.
A jury found him guilty in September of one count of murder with a deadly weapon. Davis has said he will appeal the verdict.
His conviction was the first in a cold case that has intrigued hip-hop fans for nearly 30 years.

Do you know your family medical history? For hundreds of thousands of care-experienced people, the answer isn’t always straightforward.
Missing medical and childhood information can affect access to healthcare, from identifying inherited conditions to getting an autism assessment.
In some cases, the consequences can be life-threatening, with people unaware of genetic conditions that could put them at serious risk.
BBC journalist Sophia Watkins travelled across the UK to meet adopted and care-experienced people, hearing how gaps in their records have affected their lives and what they’ve done to find answers.

Pope Leo XIV has been diagnosed with lung cancer and has had surgery to remove a lower lobe of his right lung, the Vatican has said in a medical bulletin.
The 71-year-old underwent a 90 minute operation on Tuesday at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital and was subsequently diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma.
The lump was first detected during what the Vatican has described as “routine checks”.
Earlier, large crowds gathered outside the hospital to greet the Pope, with some waiting for several hours. They cheered greetings and well wishes as he passed, while he waved and smiled back through the lowered back window of his car.
He was then met by staff on the hospital steps. “I’m sorry,” one of them commiserated, to which the Pope gave a smile and a shrug. “We’re here for you,” he was assured.
In its statement, the Vatican said the whole lower lobe of the Pope’s right lung was removed “to ensure the procedure was radical”.
A Vatican source told Agence France-Presse news agency that further tests are being carried out to see if there was any sign the cancer had spread.
Leo XIV announced news of his operation to the world on Sunday, without at that time confirming that he was suffering from cancer. Speaking from the balcony in St Peter’s Square after delivering the traditional Angelus blessing, he said the nodule, or growth, on his lung was “contained” and had been found “at a very early stage”, but that doctors had advised him to have it removed.
Nodules are quite common and not necessarily cancerous, but after it was examined the medical team confirmed it was pulmonary adenocarcinoma, “as suspected by pre-operative tests”, the Vatican said. It said that the pontiff, who is generally thought to be fit, had no symptoms of infection or illness.
Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Sarah Rainsford at the Vatican.

I have just cancelled ours. Sick of the inconsistent material on offer.
They currently have the Resident Evil film series, every movie, except the second one?
Why bother putting a film series up if you have gaps – it’s ridiculous.

I notice that Disney Plus has snatched away a lot of shows that use to be on Netflix. Some streaming savvy users subscribe to one service only, cancel it as there is no contract, and then binge watch as much as they can for the month, then switch to another service and do the same.

I cancelled, I was using it with my mom and since she doesn't live with me, she's not allowed anymore. They increased their prices BECAUSE people were sharing, I was like ok… now they're just trying to bleed me dry. Soo many cheaper even free options out there fk netflix

I am selling off my shares and Netflix. They made good money but this is Kodak all over again. When a company gets so big that they think they cannot fail and they stop listening to what the people want it is only a matter of time before they go out of business.

Instead of relooking at the issue which is their content not being consistent enough their trying to find ways to maintain or increase profit. This is already a sign it’s over for them. I just started unsubscribing from the ones with ads, I’m paying to NOT have ads

Netflix has great content?! Since when. How long ago was squid game ?? They do one good show every 2-3 months and the rest is stagnant crap. Maybe it’s just the UK version but reason people password share is because most ppl don’t see it as worth it actually having their own account. Depending on your algorithm sometimes you don’t see anything you want to watch for months why would I pay monthly for something I don’t use

I pay money for of subscription. I am not paying money for ads. Netflix is just stretching and bending the truth, so they can find another revenue stream. I am not paying for ads. Your content is not frequently updated. It is old and boring and have watched the same content for years and years over and over again.
@andrewblackwell4620
January 9, 2024 at 5:44 pm
It’s not the competition, and it’s not just the swapping of ghost accounts.. your content is old and outdated. It is not frequently updated with new content. It is old and boring and the way that you have to flick through your library to find anything every category is mixed up into the same category they just spreading their content out to make it look bigger in fuller. It is so annoying to constantly flick through Netflix and try and find something that you haven’t watched for years and years and over and over again.
@andrewblackwell4620
January 9, 2024 at 5:44 pm
Do not care about competition or the cost of money to make content. If you are charging subscribers for a service then you have to provide that service start making new content. I am just about to cancel my Netflix subscription myself. I’m so sick and tired of it. it is old, boring and outdated.
@andrewblackwell4620
January 9, 2024 at 5:44 pm
Netflix, library and content is so old and outdated. It’s a joke. They will not update new episodes or make any new content. Why is it worth subscribing?
@scott4825
January 9, 2024 at 5:44 pm
When a streaming company is starting to face tough competition, and they announce to their loyal customers that they are going to start charging/fining people for 'sharing' accounts, they are going to lose a lot of customers. So a quick and easy way not to get charged extra for my kids while they are in college is to dump Netflix. And then there are the sheer number of great shows that they would discontinue after 1 year.

Netflix customer care are stupid and behave like robots …
I have been a regular customer for years and my debit card was lost I asked them to extend my grace access for one day (24 days) until I received my replacement card
They were so stupid to reject
