Probably shouldn't have made 85% of your shows based on agendas.

You have two shows that have basically no agenda (Stranger Things), or one that represents fairly from both perspectives (Cobra Kai).

One of them is waiting for its next season, and the other has had years since its season.

Most other things on Netflix are either pushing an agenda or foreign originals that aren't as watched (e.g., loads of people in the US watch anime, Asian dramas, etc. but not nearly as many are watching Latinx shows, French stuff, etc.)

Most of the content from other providers are no longer on the platform, and licensing other movies has basically slowed to a drip, for obscure titles or Indies. These aren't exactly bad necessarily, but you need some solid movie lineups to pad that out, and they don't even go for older movies or cult classics that could appeal to people for even background noise through the day.

Then, it's not even necessarily the pushing of agendas, but what agendas are being pushed.

The sexualization of children, re: Cuties is one of the most egregious and borderline illegal things that anyone has publicly supported. When the trailers alone made me feel uncomfortable, that is not a positive.

Then you have to shoehorn trans, gay or minority into everything. Forced diversity is terrible, and not realistic.

It's fine to have some, but it's not fine to try and shove it into everything.

Other agendas include things like, conservatives bad, Dems good!

Not a very good decision if you want to make money.

Now you have them trying to do a halfway point between the Disney model and old Netflix model, releasing a series split into two parts just long enough apart to get you to buy two subscriptions, hoping to prey on those with a lack of impulse control who HAVE to talk about the show with their friends as soon as it airs

You also have decent shows cancelled without giving enough of a chance to develop because day one views weren't high enough.

All this wrapped up in a package that is basically raising in price twice every year, with a neat little "fuck off or accept it" message that forcibly pops up until you "accept" it.

The value in Netflix has basically disappeared. And it's unfortunate that for a lot of viewers, piracy ends up being a better option now.

For my part, I am willing to shell out a month to binge all the things with my girlfriend that she wants to watch, but you're never going to end up catching me directly paying for a monthly sub anymore.

I barely watch TV as it is.

Congratulations, Netflix. You dig yourself a hole with your shitty decisions pushing people away, and then you jump into the hole by trying to pass the losses on to your remaining consumers which is creating a loop of people leaving your service.

You stupid dumbasses.
