Alright, let’s talk about this Netflix thing and that Kamala woman. I heard folks are gettin’ all riled up, cancelin’ their subscriptions and whatnot. Now, I don’t know much about these fancy companies or politics, but I know what I see and what folks are sayin’.
So, this fella, Reed Hastings, the big boss at Netflix, he goes and says he likes this Kamala Harris lady for president, even gave her a whole bunch of money. Seven million dollars, they say! That’s a lot of money, even for them city folk. Folks got wind of it and they got mad. Real mad.
Why did they get mad? Well, it seems like folks don’t want their movie shows mixed up with who’s running for president. They pay their money to watch their stories, not to be told who to vote for. Makes sense to me. When I go to the store to buy eggs, I don’t want the store owner tellin’ me who to marry, you know?
And the cancelations? Oh boy, they went through the roof! They say the number of folks cancelin’ almost tripled after this Hastings fella opened his mouth. Tripled! That’s like if you had three chickens and then suddenly you only had one. That’s a big loss, no matter how you look at it.
- Folks are sayin’ this is the worst day for cancelations Netflix has had all year.
- Others are sayin’ that Netflix shouldn’t be mixin’ business with politics.
- Some even say that Hastings fella should just stick to makin’ movies.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ whether this Kamala lady is good or bad, or whether Hastings was right or wrong. That’s for them city folk to figure out. But I do know that when you mess with people’s money and their entertainment, they ain’t gonna be happy.
It’s like when the price of flour goes up at the market. Folks start bakin’ less bread, or they go to a different market. Same thing here. People don’t like what Netflix is doin’, they’ll find their movies somewhere else. There’s plenty of fish in the sea, as they say, or maybe plenty of shows on the TV.
I heard some folks on the radio talkin’ about “freedom of speech” and how Hastings has the right to say what he wants. And that’s true, I reckon. But the customers also have the right to spend their money where they want. It’s a two-way street, see?
What’s gonna happen next? Well, that’s anybody’s guess. Maybe Netflix will lose more customers, maybe they’ll figure out a way to make things right. Maybe this Kamala lady will win the election, maybe she won’t. But one thing’s for sure, this whole thing has stirred up a hornet’s nest. And when you stir up a hornet’s nest, you’re bound to get stung.
So, that’s the story as I see it. A bunch of folks got mad at Netflix because the boss man said he liked a politician. They took their money elsewhere, and now Netflix is in a bit of a pickle. Seems like a whole lot of fuss over nothin’ if you ask me, but then again, I’m just an old woman who likes her stories simple and her tea strong.
I reckon Netflix learned a lesson. Don’t go messin’ with your customers’ beliefs, just give ’em their shows and let ’em be. That’s what I always say, keep it simple, keep it honest, and don’t go stirrin’ up trouble where it ain’t needed.
And that’s all I gotta say about that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got to go check on my chickens and make sure they ain’t cancelin’ their egg layin’ subscriptions because of all this political talk. They’re smarter than them city folk sometimes, I tell ya.
