Seems that way.
Sell more film, therefore increase prices, = new customers lining up and can hardly even get in the door = STUPID.
Seems that way.It’s a weird market. And the company is run by BOZOS. Mix those 2 together and you have a kodak. Yes, Kodak stands for “stupid”.

So correct. Youtube has loaded onto my browser 30 min YouTube videos with content akin to 'how to load an instamatic' or 'which button to press to take a picture.' I'd like to believe people are not that stupid. It is probably all 'clickbait' so survival of the species might still be possible....- and some or much of the information available via YouTube or blogs isn't of a particularly high standard or is simply incorrect or misleading.
Typical Kodak hater who uses only hindsight. This type of poster drives people away.

Well, Kodak is no longer. Current leftovers are a bit of a corporate joke. Looking back at what Eastman was able to accomplish it is sad to see it so apparently mismanaged over the last many years. Digital does not explain it at all. They blew it probably because they did not care when they actually would have to.Typical Kodak hater who uses only hindsight.

At all we cannot say that in that way. Main problem Kodak has is that they have an exclussive distributor so they have their hands tied. We'll see what they do if one day this changes.
Nobody blames everyone and thanks for insider info too. As is the case in a lot of businesses, especially at corporate level, the "studs" at the top only see what they gain in their bank accounts, then move on. And of course they will not listen to anything that does not come from ... another "stud at the top". In the end they mess things up, then they end up taking another top stud position elsewhere.There were many who worked at Kodak then, include myself, who constantly told management that they were messing up but they were too much into their own agendas to listen to reason and facts. Many of the senior people complained about it on a regular basis. So do not blame everyone at Kodak.
I wonder how many of the young people who are discovering film are members here? This is the place to be, in my opinion. Maybe we're too old and not hip enough... but look at the knowledge here!
They gave away all that power themselves! It was their decision.
I’m telling you: mind-boggling! The idiotic decisions they kept on making was absolutely pathetic. If you had followed, you would know.
most of them are on instagram.
Yes, just like all my students but sadly, that is a waste of time, especially if you want to learn...
I disagree... one can always learn from the perspectives of others.
He uses it AND he develops his own slide film.
Quoting further from this.What is disappointing is that they say they did not have the market intelligence research to see that young people were getting into it... What kind of market research were they doing all this time? Seems like none..
The perspective of an 'old timer'...
- Things were going along merrily in the film market until the mid -1990s when the first digital cameras came long, then hesitancy set it
Instead the peak years in film sale were those around the year 2000.
This seems plausible however any reference for these numbers would be much appreciated (otherwise it's just parroting).it peaked in 2003, at around 960 million rolls, today total production may be around 20 million rolls,
don't let the dreamers foolyou wish their wishful thinking; film is dead!Kodak mentions that their production has doubled in the last four years, and they expect a 30% yearly increase going forward.
