That’s why I canceled Netflix and kept my Lyft app.

F*ck this.

Netflix was very smart by adding international content early on. They beat everyone else in content.

and miss out on the millions you can make at the box office? Alright…

Netflix is B-movie quality

Nobody would drive to the theater to see their crappy low level 'cinema' anyway.

But at least release RebelMoon in theatre! 😭

Keeping TV shows that people like also isn't their business apparently.

Netflix single-handedly threw a curveball at other distribution models including the theatrical business and it still doesn’t seem to understand the long term implications.

Because they are comfortable taking profits from filmmakers on line.

Sarandon, this is why people hate you as much as everyone despises streaming nowadays.

There's nothing to watch on your crappy service
