The backlash where Netflix's profit went up and it was generally a success and Netflix didn't change anything at all...?
Or was there another one I missed? Or am I confused?
That's exactly my point. All this 'widespread backlash' doesn't amount to anything unless it hurts their bottom line. There was a huge backlash when netflix introduced password sharing crackdown, but it ended up a success for them.
Oh, I didn't get what you meant I guess because people kept saying they were cancelling their accounts, I didn't think of it as a non-action backlash.
There, of course, weren't really that many people upset or cancelling
It felt like there were a lot of us who cancelled, but clearly not enough
How do you know that? Who told you? Remember it pays to lie.
I cancelled. 👍
Great, but what I was pointing out is we were told that it had very little effect by Netflix themselves.
Oh yeah, let's see what happens when Netflix is $50 a month 👍
