I’ve been boycotting Netflix for well over a year now due to their Hinduphobia, racism, transphobia, transmisogynoir, worker abuses, privacy violations, and increasingly problematic patriarchal storylines that are training a whole new generation of youth to be numb to misogyny, violence against women and children, anti-Blackness, racism, imperialism, and on and on.
Well, guess what? It looks like I’m not alone in my boycott. It’s working, my friends. Keep going. They’re pretending like their falling shares are the result of “competition” but people only go to the competition when they don’t like what a business is offering.

Headline reads: “Netflix shares plummet over gloomy subscriber outlook.” Text below from report dated Jan 21 2022 reads: “Shares of Netflix sunk nearly 20% on Thursday after it warned of weak subscriber growth. The world's largest streaming service projected it would add 2.5 million customers from January through March, less than half of what analysts had forecast. It also missed expectations for net new subscribers in the last quarter of 2021.”
