Greedy Netflix

They're about to find out the actual user base is much smaller then anticipated

Do Millennials or GenZ pay for anything?

The Biden administration is eating too much of the bones and flesh of the Korean economy and diplomacy. It's predatory. They are demanding the release of original technologies for batteries and semiconductors. From a distance, it is also a loss for the United States.

They're *still* shipping DVDs? Anyway, what a great pivot out of the old model!

Great way to lose customers. Some have 100s of titles in their queue that are not (and may never be) on streaming. (Netflix Netflix)

Netflix Is Shutting Down Its DVD BusinessNetflix’s famous red envelopes are headed to the recycling bin of history. The company announced the shutdown of the DVD-by-mail business Tuesday ahead of its first-quarter 2023 earnings repo… They STILL had a DVD business? 😳 Always like their DVD service because it was the only place (After Netflix put Blockbuster out of business) where you could get any movie or TV show you wanted for $8 a month, but I cut it off when Covid started & never got it again - a shame cause there is no pace like that now.
