Elon Musk has slammed 'unwatchable' Netflix for becoming infected by the 'woke mind virus' as the streaming giant hemorrhages subscribers.The US company lost 200,000 users between January and March this year, a quarterly report announced yesterday, causing shares to plummet by 25 per cent, with a further 2million subscribers set to leave by June.The service is now proposing introducing adverts and stopping password sharing to stem the exodus, which it is trialing in Chile, Costa Rica and Peru in a bid to clamp down on the estimated 10million households who use someone else's account.

Maybe they should try to produce programs that people actually want to watch instead of continuing to line the pockets of the likes of Barry Obozo.

As Rush always said: "It's about content." Good luck Netflix, but you can't give away Obama propaganda.

The Libs hate it when basic math works against them. They work on subjective emotion. Next math concept to set them back is our inflation rate caused by government willy-nilly spending.

I looked at Netflix's top 100 shows. There is not a single one I would watch, not unless they paid me a lot. The movies are no better. As for children's entertainment, I would not want them watching anything on Netflix.

The entertainment industry exists to fill slack time.
When life gets harder due to political choices, less slack time exists.
Entertainment also exists to distract from hardships.
Propaganda is another hardship.
Disney understood.
Disney's heirs do not.
No one has to pay to be abused.

The streaming giant is now a steaming giant.
Do they seriously think that putting ads in shows is going to draw more subscribers?

My oldest son with my two grandsons must have every conceivable gadget with Netflix, which they dropped, to watch tons of movies. We don't sit together in our house to watch movies all I have is TCM on DISH, all the old classics. On a visit my son talked us into getting Netflix when a free one-month trial was offered. We tried it for three days and dropped it I found one movie to watch but I could have rented it at the Red Box at the grocery store. The offerings were horrible and I must say 'childish' and stupid. We never did complete the trial so let Netflix sell their junk elsewhere more ads with all blacks won't help them either.

I've never been a fan of Netflix and when Netflix gave BO millions to provide content, It solidified by opinion.
Why in the world would anyone want to fill their brain with nonsense and pay for it? Ha!

One of the problems is there are now many competitors that are free.
Pluto, Tubi, ...
I hardly ever go to my Netflix and am considering dropping it.
And I dropped Hulu.

I guess netflix needs a country of prisoners in order to flourish. No wonder they loved lockdowns.

Our adult kids have offered us streaming memberships for gifts, which we politely decline. The ads for constant waves of vomit masquerading as entertainment leave us in the 'no thanks' camp. There are no storylines to be gleaned from the overflogged promos of slaughter porn, promiscuously destructive sexual or narcissistic expose' on the lost or revisionist historical fictions featuring copious amounts of wokist preaching. I'd agree that TCM is our favorite Time Waster Channel as well! If the schedule movie is a stinker, there's always a 'Stagecoach' or 'The Best Years Of Our Lives' On Demand. Hat Tip to Chicago's Svengoolie for his best of the worst old sci-fi & horror flicks on MeTv, Saturday nights. Beware of flying rubber chickens!

Netflix, it's the crap you serve up, nothing else. A total cleansing of your Leftist crapola is called for!

The Obama’s are involved in Netflix- no wonder it’s failing everything Obamas touch turns to crap!! per Twitter- President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have entered into a multi-year agreement to produce films and series for Netflix, potentially including scripted series, unscripted series, docu-series, documentaries, and features.

Didn’t Obama go big on Netflix? I guess “woke “ ain’t so wonderful now. Don’t you just love it when big companies eat themselves!

The film industry is a dying industry. There are very few original stories anymore, just remake of comic book characters and the rest is a bunch of woke baloney. Ad based shows, isn't that free TV?

LOL! Cheaper, ad supportedunwatchable garbage is still unwatchable GARBAGE.
It's not the price, it's the leftist garbage stinking up all the shows, you idiots. People do not want to watch leftist, transgender, homosexual propaganda.

I'm a March cancellation. That's only because I recently realized I still had an active account. I thought it had been cancelled a few months ago, but it wasn't.
We only watched it for a couple programs not available elsewhere. Now, there is NOTHING that will make me pay them another red cent.
