#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why are they surprised when the org begins to resemble the content? When Netflix sells outrage, why are they shocked when they cultivate internal outrage?
99.9% of Netflix content isn’t outrageous in any way. There’s a lot of attention for letting famous comedians do their usual routines in a recorded special, but we’re talking about less than 10 hours of television in a library of like 20,000 hours of Netflix originals.

You could say that's only because it has become the new norm. The Simpsons was considered to be controversial at first.

Someone will be doing layoffs soon and want people to leave voluntarily

#15They shouldn't shy away from controversial content for fear of offending people.
Their core demographic is offended though.

#16> We let viewers decide what’s appropriate for them, versus having Netflix censor specific artists or voices
This is a funny take on it. Of course Netflix censors specific artists and voices by choosing to just not produce their content.

#17This is what being placated feels like. They're only interested in a very one-sided depiction of "diversity".

#18I cancelled my Netflix account after the whole Cuties debacle. While visiting my friends I have noticed that Netflix content quality has been dropping sharply the last few years. Let's hope this exodus of customers and content creators will create a new, more interesting industry for the future.
I actually think that Cuties was widely mischaracterised as a movie by people who didn't watch it and just reacted to what they thought the content of the movie was.
It's actually a good thoughtful coming of age movie that talks about important topics and actually criticises the culture of hypersexualisation of young girls.

More like they don’t want to waste their time on managing lot of prima-donnas.

#20"Hey, offending people sells and we're in it for the money...". If this bothers you, chant "we're in it for the money" until it doesn't. If it still bothers you, get outta here.
Disney offends some people (seriously, as an ex-employee, I was astounded the degree to which some supposedly adult people insisted on being offended by cartoons made for children.)
Facebook actually has a business model based on encouraging people to offend each other and make money off everyone standing around to watch, where Netflix does nothing even remotely close.
Fox News literally manufactures offenses on a daily basis and encourages people to be offended.
Netflix is so completely bland and generally inoffensive compared to so many other things out there, it seems funny to me to call it out and point fingers at Netflix as some kind of example.
