“Cuties” turned out to be ugly for Netflix.
The streaming service has watched subscription cancellations skyrocket by 800% after the French coming-of-age film triggered a boycott in early September, analyses show. Within two days of the movie’s premiere, #CancelNetflix became the top trending topic on Twitter and a petition on Change.org garnered hundreds of thousands of signatures.
Netflix’s chief financial officer Spence Neumann didn’t mention “Cuties” in a third-quarter earnings call this week, instead focusing on the first half of the year, when coronavirus lockdowns nationwide drove subscriptions.
Neumann told investors the company “came pretty close” to meeting its membership goal of 195 million worldwide. For the three months that ended Sept. 30, Netflix added 2.2 million global subscribers — down from the first two quarters of 16 million and 10 million, respectively
But numbers analyzed by New York data analytics firms Antenna and YipitData tell a different story — that the protest, led by conservatives who claim the film’s portrayal of pre-teen girls living in Paris “hyper-sexualized” children, had made a big dent in subscriptions.

Not only "Cuties" but paying the Obama's as producers??
No thanks!
Cuties was the last straw for me and my family. I’d been thinking of cutting it out for a couple years. I finally ordered the wife to shut it down, and told her to talk to her other friends in the GOP ladies club.
People don’t like providing material support to pedophiles.
after the French coming-of-age film triggered a boycott in early September,
That’s how we describe depictions which are prurient and just this side of being openly pornographic? That is a “coming of age” story????? Really?????
I’ve been a Netflix DVD customer since forever. I cancelled this month.
Not surprised. These people plan much more “in your face” evil if we don’t let them go.
NAMBLA is demanding equal time.
CANCEL NETFLIX NOW!!! OBAMAS & OTHER LIBS ARE INVOLVED.
BS...... foolishness
As much as I hate Netflix, what are the other options? Keep it mainly for kids programs for my kids Back to torrents, I guess.
*** “Not only “Cuties” but paying the Obama’s as producers”***
I left when they hired the Obamas
“Coming of age” is newspeak for kiddie-porn.
Before this Netfixed put Obastard and Suzn Rice on the payroll as producers??? WTF is up with that, neither know jack shit about making movies
No conservative with knowledge of this should pay them one red cent
Make it hurt where it counts, right in bank account
The Gillette Syndrome claims another group of leftards trying to push their perversion on the public.
Makes one ask what were/are the Netflix executives getting paid, in order to keep defending this Pedo-Porn?
There must be some enormous material upside for them to keep lobbying for it, in spite of all the lost subscriptions.
After Cuties, she asked me to cancel Netflix. Took me nearly a minute to get to the site and cancel.
Miley Cyrus gets the trashy prize...IMHO
195 million members? You couldn’t find enough boycotters to make a dent in that. Unfortunately you have plenty of adults that ‘keep it for the kids’ and just feed the beast. Disney is getting in on the action, so now parents have two payments to hollywood every month (if not more).

Disney Plus (and now Hulu) are only available in a select few countries in the world (26 or so). The Philippines is not one of them. Same with CBS. Not available. Amazon Prime/FireTV doesn’t work here much either. Role only works in select upscale subdivisions in Makati and Fort Bonifacio, definitely not in the Visayas Region. And OTA stations have solely Communist Chinese/ Duterte propaganda once ABS-CBN was forcibly shutdown. VPNs don’t work well.
that’s your excuse for keeping it for other kids’ shows like you mentioned in your last post?
good luck with your conscience
