This was so good I had to share it right away:
"Netflix began layoffs on Thursday, just days after its stock plummeted."
"The belt tightening appears to have started at Netflix: A number of journalists working for the company’s entertainment site Tudum have been laid off, according to tweets by those affected."
Big grin on MY face. What about you?
"Cuties" was the final nail in the coffin for me and my family.
Like cable TV, woke sports and other content, Netflix is not missed in my household. Had it for years. We used to love getting DVDs of old movies and TV show series in the mailbox way back when.
Same. One of their earliest customers, and I shut that shit down after cuties.
I think a lot of Netflix subscribers quit due to Cuties.
Netflix's push to watch that pedophilic trash was so obvious and revolting that even my open-minded (or so he describes himself) libertarian husband was offended. It also helped that content streaming from Netflix was lousy on weekends despite our having good bandwidth. The teaser promos for other woke content finally did him in and he agreed to drop it.
If it wasnt pedos it was the Niggaboonification of every single peice of white history on earth by their spiders nest of cabal jew writers.
Nordic vikings? Black. Ceasar? Black. Everything diversified to death. Wakandaaaaaa for ebber we wuz kangz ya'll wyipipo stoled da blue prints.
Black Vikings are amusing.
Because they never seem to want to tell the tales of interesting historical black figures. They have to shoehorn minorities into stories that are historically white... because apparently it's not okay to put a white person in a historically black character, but the reverse is untrue.
The historical person often tossed around that could be very interesting is a black man who went to Japan many many years ago and was taken in and became a samurai. He seems to have been the inspiration for Afro Samurai, but then was forgotten.
Odd. You would think they would want actual people, but in fact no.
Because it's not about telling history in an interesting way, it's about tearing down our history and cultures.
And it's a shame. There are more people like the black samurai sprinkled throughout history that would be neat to hear about in the form of romanticized series or films, but then they wouldn't be black washing.
Not only black. But one of the Viking TV series, where history dictate that the Chieftain in Kattegat was a man. Netflix made it a... Black woman. Double Woke..
Easy there, goyim!
They had to. If anyone subsidizes something, they get more of it. I, and I am sure everyone here, was not interested in funding garbage like "cuties."
Exactly!
Cuties did me in, too.
Yup. Netflix didn't even try to hide what they were really pushing.
It's baffling. Did they really think they were that close to a perception change and that "cuties" was going to do the rest?
It's just a slow erosion, the boiling pot.
In theory, they succeeded in keeping us talking about it which means more people will view it and they win in the end.
So maybe that was the plan.
That's psychopaths for you. They are deviants who can only see what they want to see...and think everyone else should conform to *their *version of "reality".
I'm almost certain this insane push for gender fluidity, Drag Queen story times and other LGBTQXYZ garbage is so that pedophilia will eventually be accepted as just another choice. And any who dare to resist are pedophobes.
A former co-worker who is gay is also worried that this pedophilia push is the endgame for all the outrageous garbage going on in what used to be a small minority of gay and lesbians just trying to live their lives.
He fears the eventual backlash against everyday gays who just want to be left alone and not shove their sexuality down people's throats - his words, not mine - is going to be severe. Of course he's fallen for the MSM division tactics that every right-wing person wants him beaten and left for dead. Even with that fear, he refuses to support or be lumped in with men who claim to be women in women's sports, inappropriate story times...and NAMBLA! He believed me when I told him the recent Florida Bill had to do with grooming, parental rights and never mentioned or stated that people couldn't be or say "Gay".
Indeed. Make no mistake, the + at the end of LGBTQ+ is a placeholder for p*dophilia.
Yup. Wouldn't be surprised.
Same. Took me 15 secs to walk to the computer and cancel my account. Didn't even care actually. Rest of the family was like yep yep after I told them what they did.
I miss when Netflix was a dvd in the mail thing. They had everything you ever wanted to see. Then they sucked. The End.
When they actually had movies worth your time. Now it’s just all Netflix originals that suck….
Yep! Ever since they went to streaming/woke their content went in the shitter. There is nothing to watch.
Sux to be them, too arrogant/stupid not to see the possibility they'd anger the people they need for their survival. I canned Amazon Prime last year as well.
Learn to code....err wait
Obama. Harry and Meghan. Cuties.
Netflix is trash.
I quit Netflix a couple of years ago too, along with Prime - not a big movie watcher anymore but I do miss it sometimes.
I recently discovered Kanopy, which is a free public library streaming service and lets you watch quite a few older movies (and of course some woke BS that the libraries seem to have to carry).
And yes, poetic justice that woke is finally starting to go broke 😁
Well, I'm sure if they are even half as talented as they think they are they will all be get'n big $$$ offers!
Them and Chris Wallace. I hear Trader Joes needs cashiers.
😂 Chris doesn’t have what it takes to be at Trader Joe’s
True. The cashiers at Trader Joe's are pretty darn good at their job and treat customers well.
Amazon taking the hits as well, love to see it.

FB/Google/YT will be hopefully next in line.. waiting for that one.
I will not EVER let them downplay or roll their eyes regarding "Cuties." They were warned, and here is the reward. Many of us here told them exactly what would happen to their company. They wanted it this way.
netflix is creeping another notch on the belt wrapped around their neck.
tbh the service used to be good and it'd be nice to see it back the way it was like 8 years ago.
but maybe these companies can't transition back from wokeness once they eliminate their non-woke base and the degrees they have to go to appease the NPCs get worse and worse.
They were warned regarding "Cuties."
We vote with our wallets. They will go down.
Does this mean they no longer have access to gigantic piles of taxpayer cash funneled through some foreign aid program? Sweet
Hmm. Tudum? Not familiar. Is that pronounced “too dumb” ??
Business people forget who their audience is and lose their audience by making shows nobody wants to watch. Free market completion does in the emerging communist. And thank heavens, we still have the free market.
We dropped Netflix when they added Susan Rice to their board of directors and shortly thereafter they added the Obamas.
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.
Netflix's anime subtitles are fucking horrendous. I have a few manga for a show (Knights of Sidonia), and they even fucked up those subtitles. What should have been Higgs (bosun), they spelled how the Japanese pronounce it, "heigus," and what should have been 'Gardes' was spelled 'Guards'.
They're fucking retarded all-around.
Too much sinning and stealing.
They need to get rid of oblozo and his male wife.🤮 That would save them some money.
Netflix is failing because normies binge watching isn't a sustainable business model. They run out of "bingeable" normie content and don't move on to anime or niche genres. Likewise, people who watch anime or niche content will rarely move on to normie content. There's not enough anime or scifi or documentaries or sports content on Netflix to keep these users engagd.
Movies are an interesting thing because whenever a catalog film gets added it typically takes over the monthly rankings immediately. Even movies with low metacritic scores can outpace their originals. I theorize it's because movies are much more mass appeal among demos. HBO MAX, PRIME VIDEO, AND DISNEY have really cut their supply of movies so that revenue stream is shrinking
I won't get into the Cuties thing but as much controversy as it caused the movie in the end was a non factor for Netflx and underperformed. It's unintentionally one of the most scathing condemnations of Islam and Muslims and probably why Netflix caved to the conservative right and moved on to push other things.
What news triggered the selloff? Q1 earnings? Because if the company was using treasury stock sales to fund operations then they are in really big trouble...
I believe it was a drop in subscribers.
Ahh. I believe that was foretold .. It seems another woke move ha been paid for with an overwhelming response..
I listen to NPR when I have some tolerance for blatant lies and mis truth to hear what the enemy is doing.
They had interviews with people who got laid off today. Of course there was no mention of cuties and the agenda they’ve been pushing these last years.
Then npr does their business report. They didn’t even state what today’s ‘numbers’ were kinda joking that they were so bad you didn’t want to hear them.
It was the typical npr joke of a report.
