I'm confused. Is Netflix editing books from 100 years ago? Is Disney? It seems like you're conflating two completely unrelated phenomena:
1. Publishers getting tons of free publicity by announcing cosmetic changes to old books, and
2. Netflix investing $2.5 billion in South Korean programming.
As for 1 above, the publisher of Roald Dahl's books have released the original AND edited versions of his books, thus creating new content for people to purchase and demand for consumers to rage-buy the old version.

- epolanski 3y agoI'm not conflating different phenomena I'm talking about sensitivity readers and the recent wave of editing all books to be more pc.
- teachrdan 3y agoThen I'm curious how "sensitivity readers" relates to Netflix investing $2.5 billion in South Korean television programming. Could you perhaps explain how these two things relate to each other at all?
