Their core demographic is offended though.
- rajup 4y agoIs it? If this easily offended demographic were really so big the execs at Netflix are not so stupid to alienate them. The more mundane reason is this demographic is very tiny though they may be very vocal.
- KerrAvon 4y agoIt’s vocal, for sure, but it’s not that tiny. You can’t simply dismiss the concerns of 10-30% (+ allies) of your potential audience.
- chiefalchemist 4y agoYou can if it undermines and alienates the other 90-70%. I'm not suggesting Nf should. But one persons offended is another's appealing. The volume of a voice is independent of its depth & breadth.
- 1over137 4y agoWho is this 10-30%? There aren't that many trans people. Who are you referring to?
- datalopers 4y agoI'm not offended by their content, I just think the quality declined faster than they've raised prices. That's why I cancelled. Most of their original content is about as exciting and predictable as talking to a GPT-3 bot.
- mind-blight 4y agoYeah, I'm getting pretty close. I use it barely enough to justify the cost. We'll see after Russian doll season 2
- PolygonSheep 4y agoIt's good for engagement. Get everyone talking about the latest Netflix controversy. Release Cuties and piss off all the stupid uptight conservatives who don't understand it's just a coming-of-age story, then release a Chappelle comedy special and upset all the right-thinking leftists who don't understand it's actually pro-trans. Then no matter whether you go to get your daily Two Minutes Hate in, all you see is NETFLIX NETFLIX NETFLIX NETFLIX NETFLIX everywhere.
