I actually began this video BEFORE the gnome video. I knew there was a lot to talk about with Netflix and thought I could do the gnome video quicker (I was wrong, opps). I've essentially been dual wielding these two videos for months, going down a rabbit hole of netflix drama, Whilst also dealing with real life stuff.
This is my longest video so far. Needless to say, I understand Netflix a lot more now, I hope you will too after watching this.❤

I love that squid game was all about how capitalism is bad and consumerism and Netflix went “ahh yes let’s replicate the terrible rich people games”

I don't friggin' want a Netflix restaurant, Netflix Steam, or Netflix "experience." I want them to stop canceling every show after 1-2 seasons. It's gotten to the point where I don't even want to start new shows anymore unless they're, like, 4 seasons in or done. I know that contributes to the lack of ratings, but can you blame my lack of trust?

the other day my bf and i were wondering what happened to make 'netflix original' go from good to trashy. turns out they fired the one person who cared

I still buy physical media and I don't think I will ever stop. It feels good to know that if I truly love a movie, I'll be able to watch it whenever I want with no ads, no buffering, etc. I think it's so important to support physical media because seeing the way they are cancelling and removing shows from streaming services nowadays makes me believe we will have a lot of lost media in the future.

Netflix really be digging their own graves by undermining and mistreating their creative individuals, like who do you think made the shows that made you rich in the first place?

A big thing that severed my relationship with Netflix was when they instigated the "one household per account" rule. I have unsubscribed, and never looked back. And from what I saw today, good riddance

@pochaccocino 2 years ago

what baffles me so much about netflix's current strategy to get money is that it makes SO much more sense to release shows the traditional way--like new episodes every thursday! because then they're able to stretch people's subscriptions through the months. but they're so focused on making shows with only 8 episodes that people can binge in ONE NIGHT ?? then cancel after the first season ???? how does that make any sense? genuinely??? i would so much rather have 3 seasons of 20 episodes of the shows i love and watch them over the span of a few years. i think we need to reject modernity and embrace tradition

@ahaangrygem 2 years ago

I'm still SO mad they haven't added playlists to streaming services. Let me add all my favorite Halloween episodes and movies to a list and hit shuffle. Or my favorite sitcoms, Christmas stuff, etc. How is this still not a thing??? It's so obvious

@brisk_eventide8347 2 years ago

I've never forgiven Netflix for cancelling The Dark Crystal. The behind the scenes footage is just pure passion of practical effects and they cared so much for story. Them cancelling this show to give Big Mouth more seasons gave me more than enough reason to cancel the subscription lmao.

What really stung about Netflix not only upping the price, but the whole main household location thing preventing you from sharing an account. They already had limits of how many screens could use it at once and then it became nope gotta be in one house too bad

we need to bring back pirating

@Memento-Mori-and-pickles 2 years ago

Netflix is muting twitter accounts that share this video on their posts.

They don't like being called out.

I feel like this should be essential viewing. Great job! In India, the joke is that the Netflix India YouTube Channel is more successful than Netflix India programming.

After they canceled Dead Boy Detectives (even tho they already commissioned and finished writing the second season, and now they own the rights and It can’t be picked up by other producers) I will never forgive Netflix NEVER going back

Imagine telling a Victorian child about the Netflix button on the tv remote

I got rid of netflix when they introduced ads on their lowest tier subscription... so infuriating

@AlejandroMontoyaMarin 2 years ago

Support indie cinema! There’s so many of us that netflix doesn’t even answer our emails and we’re selling out theaters across the states

I'm still salty about Mindhunter.

Piracy is alive and well. I was gonna cancel netflix after they implemented the password sharing ban. Decided to try 1m of the ad tier. Discovered you can't watch Arrested Development on that tier, a show they literally bought and made more seasons. of. Cancelled entirely and just spent an hour getting torrents of netflix shows and putting them on an HDD and hooked it up to my tv.
