Netflix shows every kind of thing under the sun. I can handle it if they show some things I don’t like. We can’t be boycotting huge services that sell / show diverse selections.

Whether it's original content or licensed content they still measure customer satisfaction. For example, Netflix decided not to renew their original series Marco Polo after two seasons, even though a lot of folks enjoyed it (including me).

Netflix has made some missteps in the past (e.g., the infamous "Quickster" debacle) but the measure of a good company is not whether it makes mistakes but what it does when those happen. If Netflix is getting a lot of negative feedback about this I'm sure they'll "get the message".

I buy socks for #2 Son at Target; Walmart doesn’t have any that are large enough.

Does he wear the kind that come up to his armpits (or something) or is he a deformed goon? (tell him somebody asked you online if he was a deformed goon-- he may get a kick out of it).

Walmart sells to fat people. (i should know). But Big and Tall is a store all it's own (I've know that since the '60's. I have some huge relatives/forebears/ancestry. Must be the Belgian/Dutch component)

But the #1 reason Target carries bigfoot sock sizes?

Moo-chelle (his belle) shops there.

#2 Son is a bear under semi-human appearance. He has gigantic feet, and our local Walmart does not sell the athletic socks he likes in his immensely-large size. (He’s not deformed, just a giant ;-).

>> One of it’s writers, Jack Moore, posted on Twitter: ‘F***white people’

Jack Moore & Read Hastings can go to Hell. No longer patronizing these two scumbags.

The CEO’s comments on dreamers made me leave. I have, and still am, the biggest fan of Netflix, and what it has wrought on main stream media.

But he went too far.

And all of the companies that signed onto the case against Trump, include Netflix, only Netflix was getting money from me.

I said DVD’s, not streaming.

And I don’t want to buy the DVD’s.

It doesn’t look as though there is an alternative to Netflix.

Converged businesses do not learn from their mistakes, they always double down. They are also producing a series by Bill Nye that will go after "deniers". Doubling down.

His new program, “Bill Nye Saves the World,” will premiere as a Netflix original series on April 21. In a statement, Netflix said, “Each episode will tackle a topic from a scientific point of view, dispelling myths, and refuting antiscientific claims that may be espoused by politicians, religious leaders or titans of industry.”

Mr. Nye, 61, will be joined by celebrity guests like the model Karlie Kloss, the actor Rachel Bloom and the fashion consultant Tim Gunn. A Netflix representative said the 13 episodes, each 30 minutes long, will be released all at once.

A model, an actress and a fashion consultant walk in to a bar....SCIENCE

De gustibus non est disputandem

Netflix is in the entertainment business, folks. People differ in their entertainment preferences. The fact that entertainment choices exist may be upsetting to some, but nobody is forcing you to watch anything you don't want to watch. If you want to subscribe to services that exactly match your preferences and cater to no others, then do so if you can find such. For everyone else, watch the titles you enjoy and don't watch titles you don't enjoy. It's pretty simple.
