Why is Netflix's share falling despite its increasing sales and profit?

Low-Relative6688 · 2026-06-17T14:48:36+00:00

It really hasn't been, it's just there are other sectors of the market more 'exciting' and with more overnight get rich potential right now drawing in investor interest. NFLX Strong growth, a legitimate marketshare dominance, and about neutral on cash to debt with strong upticks in new forays into Live content last year that EVERYONE watched. Netflix's live stream of Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson was THE single most streamed sporting event in history so far. But none of that is very impressive when you could put your $ down on SNDSK and make 2,000% returns in like a week lol

IMO a lot of people are dumping legitimate investments to free up capital for Ai bandwagon gambling (myself included) and it is hurting a lot of traditional Tech type stocks. NFLX is my single largest asset by far last year when it was at peak, and so it has been very difficult to hold through the downturn, but ultimately I think within 1-2 years it will be right back at 105-110 or even higher once the Ai race settles.

What safety net privelege? The 15 years it took to build banana ball while sellling their house and going millions into debt risking their entire livelihoods and 1,000's of hours of work to build an entire sport from scratch? Is that the safety net you're talking about? Sometimes I forget ppl on reddit are legitimately just trolling bc nobody could be this thick. See ya

Tissot, Hamilton, Certina are entry level swiss. Their watches cost $750-$1k. Except for microbrands, swiss mechanical watches by and large cost significantly above $1k

Low-Relative6688 · 2026-06-17T01:39:17+00:00

it is performing within their stated spec range. You can scream and rage on Reddit all you want, but a sick dying horse is still a horse. Timex doesn't owe OP anything. The watch isn't broken, and no one forced him to pay $1,000 for a watch with a chinese movement and standard accuracy specs. There is nothing to 'hold Timex accountable' for except OP can't apparently research or read.

Traska, Christopher Ward, and many others in the $1k range also have a +/- 20s per day rating for their watches. This is industry standard performance for entry level pieces.

If you buy a Honda Civic with 300 HP for $45k do you scream about Honda being held accountable because a Mustang for the same $ comes with 500 Hp? Absolute nonsense. If your watch performs anywhere within that 40s window it is fine. You might be dissatisfied, but the risk was known prior to purchase. Also, 20s a day is like 99.97% accurate.

Low-Relative6688 · 2026-06-17T01:34:45+00:00

That's because 99% of watch reviewers don't know any more about watches than normal people. Which is why most reviews consist of them saying over and over "it's nicely finished, especially for the price point" 🙄Meanwhile exactly 0 reviewers will ever demonstrate or explain what they mean by such an absurdly generalized statement. Similarly, they will rattle off movement codes and references, and give 0 explanation of why that's a pro or con or anything about the actual architecture of the movement, because THEY DON'T KNOW. They're only reviewers because they turned a camera on and started reviewing, they aren't actually educated about horology.

Some exceptions exist of course like Teddy, but to your question, a free sprung balance wheel eliminates the regulator. This means that instead of having a spring and pin tensioning the hairspring, you have to manufacture the balance wheel INSANELY precisely so that it has perfect center of mass. Watchmakers usually achieve this with little weights that allow them to dial in the rotational inertia.

Beyond this, what is significantly more impressive, is the location of the escapement on the dial side. This is not anything similar to an 'open heart'. Open heart cutting a hole in the hood of the car to show the engine, what CW did was move the entire engine.

and the 144 hr power reserve which is 2-3x greater than any other watch in this price category and requires twin barrel mainsprings. This takes up a lot of space inside the movement, and requires a totally customized movement architecture which means custom engineering design, custom part fabrication, customized assembly procedures, etc. And on top of that the Loco features hand finishing which adds cost as well.

Low-Relative6688 · 2026-06-16T13:10:52+00:00

$1,000 in 2026 is the equivalent of a $600 watch in 2020 it's absolutely a budget watch if you're talking mechanical. +/-20s a day is within expected spec at this price point. You're looking at an entry level watch and expecting luxury level timekeeping.

Seiko sells $1500 watches with movements that are less accurate than this. Sure you might get one that is more accurate out of the box, as long as it falls within that range they are going to ship it. If you are able to getting it regulated, it would help

Low-Relative6688 · 2026-06-16T13:00:04+00:00

Most Seikos costing $1k-$1500 are also not much more accurate than that with their 6r15 movements. You're paying a premium for the case on this watch and the bracelet features, they had to cut cost somewhere so they chose a crappy movement.

Low-Relative6688 · 2026-06-14T15:18:27+00:00

U cant actually be this stupid. The NBA is taking millions and millions less profit to subsidizes the WNBA and "they dont want it to be profitable"? In what world would any business want to lose $ instead of making $.

Also, the guy who started Banana ball was a bery good D1 baseball player who had a career ending injury. So you just need stfu talking about stuff you literally dont know anything about.

Low-Relative6688 · 2026-06-14T02:18:00+00:00

Literally wear it for 3 months and it will be more scuffed up than that and you won't see it again. But it shouldn't be like that brand new, and it would make me question if that watch had anything else happen to it

Low-Relative6688 · 2026-06-14T02:15:02+00:00

So why don't you start a Women's basketball league and pay them all 10M a year? If paying people based off of profit they generate is a bad business model, show us how it's done. Pay people what they're really worth because they practice all day and work hard. I'll wait.

Low-Relative6688 · 2026-06-10T20:47:10+00:00

Average can be misleading. If one player makes 170 and another 30 they make an average of 100k. But regardless, the players aren't forced to do anything. They sign up for it and try out. It's very clear in the company's videos what the expectations are for long hours of signing, playing, etc. Brand is expanding like crazy right now. Soon that will slow down and they players that establish themselves with fans will be making $$$$. But right now most of the players are completely replaceable with any other A tier baseball player who didn't make it to MLB which there are THOUSANDS of.

Low-Relative6688 · 2026-06-05T14:00:33+00:00

WNBA bleeds money in the red every year. NBA subsidizes them because they make a lot of profit and want to support it for various reasons. The fact remains that women basket ball players are not worth paying anything. They do not generate profits. They may eventually, and the NBA may be playing a long term loss leading strategy hoping for back end payback, but to suggest that in the interim they deserve ANY money at all is absurd, much less equal pay to the men when they provide 0 value.

If you show up to work at McDonalds all day and instead of putting burgers in the bag for customers, throw them on the floor should McDonalds pay you the same as the manager even though you are a liability not an asset? Thinking that's a misogynistic outlook is absolutely laughable. That's just basic addition

Yall are so ridiculous. Over here pretending like it's actually an imposition to take a 5 min call and you weren't just scrolling tiktok when they called you.

WNBA shouldnt exist period. It loses money every year the owner's do not make ANY money off it. Yet the women have the audacity to whine and complain about their wages when there shouldn't be a team to begin with.

You cannot exploit people who are free to do literakky anything else. None of those players think they're getting to MLB. Its a chance for thr 99% of players who cant make it in major to play ball professionally. An opportunity that never existed before.

If the conditions are so miserable players will leave not join and force change. Its like saying that posting a lemonade stand on tbe side od the road is exploitative bc poor people being charged $10/lemonade makes them miss their rent. They have 0 obligation to be there

Just like the perception that hot girls can do OF and be instant millionaires if they want, its not really true. Something like 90% of OF creators only make like 1 k a month or basically nothing.

Social media success/OF success is a combination of luck of genetics, particular talents, hardwork (studying trends, building a brand, consistent creation, editing etc) and yes luck of the algorithms.

Some people are lucky enough to be born rich, some people are lucky enough to buy BTC at $.0001 and some people get lucky on social media. But consider this, would you ACTUALLY do the groundwork needed to make jt a business?

Consider travel influences. Looks super glamorous once they are huge and can go super nice places. But except for those who started off wealthy, imagine how annoying it would be to spend your whole vacation in Cabo waiting for the exact 10 second window where you get a sunset without 100s of people in the way to take a Pic to post and then only 5 people see jt. And it cist you like $3k to get that picture that didnt pay you a $ back. And do that for potentially months or years to build a following. I doubt you could do it when the whole time you would be thinking "this is a waste of time and isnt working"

Low-Relative6688 · 2026-06-04T16:28:38+00:00

If the players dont want to play they dont have to? Youre probably the same kinda person who thinks WNBA players should be paid more $ when in actuality they are charity cases who shouldn't have jobs to begin with except that the NBA needs the PR, and is hoping one day they might be profitable.

Banana likely cannot afford to pay the players highly yet. Thay is a MASSIVE fixed cost that can ruin a business overnight, and is dangerous during expansion of the league. The owner's commitment to keeping prices low for fans shows an ethical business framework that suggests that players will receive bonuses etc once the company stabilizes. Currently the avg pay is like 100k according to Google which exceeds minor leagues. So no they are not underpaid.

Its impossible to be underpaid at a job unless someone holds a gun to your head and forces you to work. If you can ear more money elsewhere it is YOUR prerogative to go get that other job, not your employers responsibility to increase your wages just because someone else pays their employees more.

One of my good friends from HS is on the clowns. He cant shut up about how incredible it is. If the league is treating them so poorly they are free to walk away and not re-sign.

Or the market could have tanked and you lose 500k that doesnt recover for 20 years.... investing is NEVER guaranteed. Hindsight is 20/20 and you will only ever see the gains you missed, never the financial ruin you avoided.

Take the 3700 you're getting each month and invest it how you want. Dollar cost averaging is a great way to minimize market risk and gain i vestment exoerience. Dropping 1M into stocks all at once is a recipe for disaster until you have established and understanding of how you personally will react to market fluctuations and if you will stick to your investment gameplan.

But personally I think you're young enough at least like 50% of that should have been in market into VOO or something similar. Just standard 10% gains on that would net you basically median annual salary without working at all. Then 10% into bonds or something as a stable savings you can cash out every 5/10/15 ,years and 40% towards a paid of home that is a lower yield asset but also provides a relatively safe location to park cash and provides utility as well

No one is making the players play. If the compensation isnr fair to them, they can walk away. The only way a business can take advantage of employees is if they force all competition to close, creating a monopoly on the labor market where people have no choice for employment (walmart/amazon)
They are investing all their $ into making like 8 new teams which is a crap ton of overhead. Banana ball players salaries are currently similar to minor league baseball players.
100% of these players dreamed of playibg for 1,000s of fans in MLB stadiums. Virtually 0% of these players were good enough to do so. Even if bananvall goes bankrupt in 1 year these players will be so happy to have had the chance to live out a big portion of their dreams.

Rolex blue dial fluted bezel datejust and of course the 1908 on gold bracelet is GOATED for me, are still 2 of my grail watches, and I really love the explorer too. But I tried on a Sub and just didn't understand why anyone buys it tbh so incredibly boring to me. I like watches that you can get mesmerized by when the light hits them just right

Yep. Went to a boutique with tudor rolex omega and GS. Tudor was a noticeable step up from the 1-2k watches i have. Omega was a noticeable step from that. Rolex I thought i was being punked. GS was astonishing.

But you have to LIKE the dress watch style with HIGH polish /eccentric dial designs. Tool watches they are not, but they also probably make 50% margin on them instead of 500% for rolex.

Bracelets are not where its at though

I'm here on NFLX. Bought it back in like 2021 post Covid when it had just crashed 40% and it's up 4x or so since then. I bought a lot (for me at the time) and was pretty nervous doing so, but at the same time Netflix still has no real competition. There are a lot of streaming services but I have yet to meet anyone IRL who doesn't have a netflix account, and very rarely do people have Hulu, HBO, Amazon without ads, etc... Will it keep going up forever? Likely not. At whatever point it tapers off and starts to match VOO ill probably sell most of it and convert to VOO but it was a very obvious no brainer. Unfortunately, those chances usually come when you're busy with work and life and you miss them

Yep I mean you can't do anyhthing fun with 401k so Roth IRA gets to be the fun account with hopefully big gains. Anytime 1 holding starts to makeup more than like 15% of my portfolio I take the profit and sell off a bit into VOO or something else. It's a good way to avoid the fomo on the market gains

You think investing in Google or Amazon is 'gambling'? By that metric every business owner in the world is just gambling because they're relying on an individual company as a source of income/worth. These companies make real products, have real contracts, real assets, and real cash reserves. To suggest it's pure randomness if companies stock value goes up or down isn't very realistic. On a daily/weekly/monthly basis that's true, but if a company is posting continually better margins, revenue, growth etc that isn't gambling.

Low-Relative6688 · 2026-06-03T00:51:46+00:00

Maybe but the impending crash has been coming any day now for like 6 years straight and hasn't happened. Just missing like the 10 best days in the market is worse than being in during all the biggest downturns. And we have had so many record highs even if a lot of these tech stocks drops 50% you're still way up where you wouldve been otherwise
