People are not happy with Netflix for good reason

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.

SNFLX since 1/4/2016” Below headline is a chart from 2016 to 2022 with white letters and numbers on the purple background. The line of the chart itself is in red. It goes upwards from 2016 until the end of 2021 when it drops drastically till now in January. Source is Yahoo! Finance in the bottom left corner.

If you’re one of the people who “cares” about justice but thinks boycotts don’t work, I encourage you to get on board. The only thing that means anything to these capitalists is money.
