I was a subscriber from DVD rentals up until they blocked password sharing and raised their prices for the umpteenth time. They’re not Amazon bad, but they’re dead to me. They will never see another penny from me.
There have several reports recently of Netflix pressuring writers/directors/producers to create shows and movies tailored to distracted consumers. Basically, telling them to repeat plot points in dialog so that people ‘watching’ while doing other things can keep up.
I’d put that in the evil category along with advertising and media company consolidation.
Is Netflix evil these days?
always has been

So they’re evil for catering to their customers?
If you don’t like that in movies don’t watch their movies…
That’s just knowing your audience.
Or maybe they’re distracted because the show isn’t that great, and doing this makes it even more not great lol.
