Fuck these greedy bastards. Yo ho, me hearties!

While I’m sure there are varying forms of valid answers, what’s your personal reason you see Netflix as greedy?

[–] littlebluespark 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure if this is baiting, as viewing facts as facts is less about personal opinion than it is veracity. Their behavior as a corp is proof enough. Are you asking for a synopsis of their current business model?

If by baiting you mean I’m aiming to start an argument, I’ll admit, i may want to do that. I feel like there’s some potentially petty reasons to dislike Netflix, but it’s also very possible I didn’t read news about them doing something really evil, so I could be convinced.

Basically, the core idea of increasing subscription fees to cover production costs isn’t evil to me, it’s just business. The canceling of popular series is aggravating and dumb, but it doesn’t even make sense as a sign of greed.
