I just cancelled my subscription. They ask you for a reason and I put "abortion advocacy and etc.".

Gay people are out there in society. They are part of the storyline in some dramas. I get it.

But having LGTBQ(WXYZ) propaganda crammed down my piehole 24/7, crammed into plots and stories where it has absolutely no place?

No thank you.

I don’t care who they hire (Obama, Rice). It’s the left wing programming they are churning out that’s turned me off. That and the fact there are fewer and fewer movies and more and more really bad shows.

Netflix has always had a fairly high customer turnover. People subscribe, don’t watch it and then cancel their subscriptions. As long as more new customers signed up than old customers cancelled each year their net number of subscribers continued to rise.

I am sure that some percentage of their cancelling customers are alienated conservatives. I am willing to bet, however, that where conservatives are really hitting them is that they are no longer signing up in the first place.

Without a doubt it cost subscribers, but it’s stock price really dropped because their content pool is drying up. Everyone is going to be streaming their own.

I guess greed is going to bring us Al-a-carte programming after all. Everyone major will be streaming their own. I guess it’s just another market cycle.

I would suspect that there will be some new players on the market for $1.99 to $3.99 streaming packages.

They won’t have much to show next year.

“Then there was the announcement in May 2018 that Netflix would be partnering with Barack and Michelle Obama to produce content. “President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have entered into a multi-year agreement to potentially produce films and series for Netflix...”

“Potentially”? And if the Obama’s never actually deliver a movie or series, what then? Can we call the partnering agreement what it really is... a flat-out bribe? A kick-back for “services rendered”? Cause you know that Barak is inherently lazy and misses his book deadlines.

We've been Netflix subscribers for years. We canceled our subscription last month well after the price increase when they announced they were looking to push transgender issues. Under “Reason” I marked the “Other” block and put Politics. I don't believe that they don't know.

Yeah, hiring the Obama’s was our ticket out.

Cancelled Netflix 8 or 9 months ago. Also cancelled ATT U-verse cable. Have never missed either one even once. So much more time available for better uses. Propaganda, lies, agitprop, brainwashing. It’s not just a waste of time. It’s destructive. I will never go back.

The subscription rate increase about 3 months ago probably also added to the decline.

As did the lack of new offerings — movies and series.

I use Roku. I like some of the youtube channels. Theres lots of good stuff on cars and guns and etc. Netflix programming has taken a big nosedive. Still my wife likes shows like “Rake” so I’ll keep Netflix for now. Amazon has a lot better programming and I use Prime anyhow and save a bundle on shipping costs. Britbox is pretty good too.

We flatter ourselves thinking that. If everything needed conservatives to survive, we would not have lost the cultural battles. Not everything nor everybody needs conservatives to stay in business. It could simply be bad business decisions.

Just in general conversation a couple of people say they had cancelled over what amounts to the company’s political activism.

Netflix increased their prices.

But, the thesis is correct: STOP PAYING ORGANIZATIONS THAT HATE YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU STAND FOR. STARVE THE BEAST.

You can live without watching the foolsball games, etc.

3+ years with no cable...I should have done it earlier.

Even the third season of Stranger Things can’t keep me from cancelling. What a disappointment.

It is the one thing I pay for my adult daughters. I watch once in a while. I find it’s programed for 16 year old girls who are staying home with cramps.

One of the few places in our culture where Conservatives can still produce blockbusters is Amazon’s Best Sellers list in Politics and Government.

Being able to read above a fourth-grade level is becoming rarer by the day in America, but it’s a prominent feature of Conservatives.

How about hugely left leaning bias, crappy content, poor acting, directing, scripting, poor service. Everything seems to be macho females, lesbians, all who hate men but want to be just like men. The same stories over and over again and again.

They should hire Barrack and Michelle to get them back on track. Hillary can write the dialogue.

Their content pushes so much homosexuality that it’s sickening.
There’s not much left I want to see on Netflix.
And a lot of stuff I wish to unsee.
