    Honestly it was a bit weird everyone on social saying Netflix was about to die. They would spend millions on market research. Thousands of man hours, and the usage data to support it.

    It’s pretty arrogant to conclude that you know better.

    I don’t really mean you specifically. This happens often with large companies. Like people thinking reddit would die.

    Twitter is a special case though IMO. It was shit to start with, and it’s become aggressively partisan.

      Yep. Because Twitter is now a far-right social media. Just like Gab and Truth Social. I don’t know why so many people don’t get that.

      Just on the face of it, why would Netflix even have been concerned that this change would hurt their bottom line? The bulk of the people that the change pissed off weren’t paying for the service to start with!

        it seems as though a lot of people were cancelling their subscriptions on the basis that it was a dramatic over-reach from netflix, and naively assumed that the all of netflix’ users were the same.
