Some examples? And could you please define “woke propaganda”? Asking because the term is used to mischaracterize a broad range of views by, ironically, large scale propaganda / fear mongering outlets.

Have you not seen their content lately? I wouldn't say it's woke propaganda, but a lot of their content is clearly trying to tick the diversity boxes.

  It's a global company -- they need to make and provide content to a global audience.

    How about providing unbiased content that show both sides? Shows like Netflix's "Midnight Mass" and "Messiah" (questions on faith) or HBO max's "The Staircase" (objective & subjective truth) are the minority.

Snowpiercer (series): Gave up after the main plot focused on maintaining a lie, not discovering a truth (conventional screenwriting). Other examples: https://www.reddit.com/r/netflix/comments/pwp3t4/im_tired_of_woke/ https://www.reddit.com/r/netflix/comments/pwp3t4/im_tired_of... Eventually got tired of Netflix's money cow strategy by sacrificing quality - buying original ideas and ruining them with more seasons for the sake of engagement: Designated Survivor, Money Heist, etc. Piggybacking on categories that rate higher on IMDB: Korean copycats, cheap documentaries, reality shows. They know how to cater to public sentiment because biased reviews lead to higher ratings, hoping the brainwashing is not apparent - recent drop in subscribers proves them wrong.

  > Snowpiercer: Gave up after the main plot focused on maintaining a lie, not discovering a truth (conventional screenwriting). What do you mean by this? The "geo-engineering backfired and made the world too cold" setting of the story? I found the movie schlocky and ham-fisted, but generally entertaining in a dumb-movie sort of way. I'm not sure what you mean by maintaining a lie and discovering truth.

    The series, not the movie.

      Ah, I had no idea that existed. Seems like a bad idea though; the train already crashed.

    The series overthrows a lie, but supplants it and feeds another one. Screenwriting is complicated, but if you want to know more details focus on the "midpoint", where the truth/thesis is stated. Essentially movies or series are sort of discovery tools to reveal an audience a certain truth - there is no point on being consistently lied to... https://trendguardian.medium.com/anatomy-of-great-movies-bd9ee3874687 https://trendguardian.medium.com/anatomy-of-great-movies-bd9...
