- pavlov 3y agoYou do understand that riling up right-wing nutjobs is a deliberate marketing strategy? Imagine you're a production company working on a low-budget docudrama for Netflix where you know it will be displayed as just one more UI tile among an endless tsunami of similar low-budget dramas from around the world. Which marketing approach do you think would work better: 1) Make a historically accurate show with the little money you have, release it, and watch it sink to oblivion with a slightly below average rating; 2) Add a provocative bait that you know the most bored unemployed crowd on Twitter won't be able to resist; watch everybody talk about your show; enjoy your 11% rating because it came with massive online notoriety and a fat Netflix royalty wire for a few months.
- slaw 3y agoThere are not enough right-wing nutjobs. It is strategy of insulting thinking humans.
- pavlov 3y agoThere obviously are enough of them because we've heard of this Cleopatra docudrama when normally this kind of production would have vanished without a trace.
- throwaway2990 3y agoThere are just as many nut jobs on the left as there are on the right.
- pavlov 3y agoOf course. Provoking liberals for visibility is a time-honored strategy in right-wing media.
- slaw 3y agoYes, Netflix is doing financially very good, considering the most of it's movies are shitty.
