The number of Moments you can save depends on the length of the content, but Netflix says most users won’t have to worry about hitting the limit. This means that the storage space is quite large, although Netflix does not say how much is allocated to each customer. The company also plans to come up with more ways for people to enjoy individual scenes in the future, but hasn’t hinted at anything.

Netflix seems to be on a path of innovation decrease in the number of subscribersa problem that all major streaming platforms face. Paramount Plus, Disney Plus and Hulu will lose out millions of customers. Rising prices squeeze the market even more. This new Moments feature could help maintain Netflix’s dominance in a rapidly shrinking market.

A new branded campaign with several big names

The release of the new Moments coincides with Netflix’s global branding campaign called “It’s So Good.” This campaign aims to celebrate some of the most memorable moments in shows and movies created by Netflix and includes some famous names. Cardi B, Simone Biles and Giancarlo Esposito are part of it, according to Netflix.

Netflix says it hopes the “It’s So Good” campaign will remind people that Netflix is ​​more than just a streaming service; it is a place where we create memories with our loved ones. By focusing on niche features and new technologies to enhance the experience, Netflix hopes to maintain its position as a global favorite streaming service.
