minus-square@nieceandtows@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglish32•10 months agoThe only backlash they listen to is the one to their wallets. Remember Netflix password crackdown backlash?
minus-squareripcordlinkfedilink46•10 months agoThe 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?
minus-square@nieceandtows@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglish25•10 months agoThat’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.
minus-squareripcordlinkfedilink3•10 months agoOh, 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
minus-square@AA5B@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish6•10 months agoIt felt like there were a lot of us who cancelled, but clearly not enough
minus-square@sizzler@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish0•10 months agoHow do you know that? Who told you? Remember it pays to lie.
minus-square@sizzler@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•10 months agoGreat, but what I was pointing out is we were told that it had very little effect by Netflix themselves.
minus-square@CCatMan@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglish2•10 months agoOh yeah, let’s see what happens when Netflix is $50 a month 👍
minus-square@TheFriar@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish2•10 months agoSounds like we need to get the ELF and the RTR folks on a conference call.
