It looks like Netflix lost around 700,000 customers in Russia, which is making their numbers look bad. They expect to lose 2.5 million more customers.

    i mean look at that winning top tier public company strat

    • raise the prices to oblivion
    • take content away
    • produce new original content of questionable quality
    • region lock so many get to pay more for less
    • introduce a fuckton of restrictions to extract even more money
    • blindly follow other sheep-companies into the slaughter by sanctioning themselves out of lucrative markets for no reason

    look how well its working, just look at them stonks

      They didn’t intentionally remove content

      Rather, vertically-integrated competitors arrived that no longer wanted to licence their content to Netflix anymore

      And region locking, at least in Australia, is the result of Fox and other companies already having exclusive distribution rights for certain content

      Netflix is just like every other awful mega-corp in a bunch of ways, but it’s also true that their hands are tied in some ways
