You are correct that I don't dispute.Im not an expert on stock markets .

But go woke go broke is also an accelerant to some of the stock losses like Netflix, Disney and a whole lot of others.


This conservative website has list of companies that are woke very similar to budaatum list of companies whose stocks have tanked

https://thebluestateconservative.com/2021/01/20/12-woke-companies-to-avoid/


Well I assume you are wired not to see any co+relationship maybe you will blame China.


Similar to Biden stopping a pipeline and limited federal exploration of oil. When oil prices go up he blames Putin.
Netflix tanked because of massive fall in subscribers post pandemic as people came out of lockdown and some moved to Disney+. Also lost 700,000 subscribers in Russia with the sanctions.

Netflix has had woke content for years and their subscriber base increased exponentially. Netflix actually has all content. They simply have seen Disney eat into market share and their pandemic bonanza is over.

Wokeness culture being forced down on everyone.
Social Justice Warriors have big megaphones.
Anything they don't like is racist, misogynist, phobic etc.
Noone wants to be tagged racist esp so a lot of people are caving in to SJWs.
That's the new craze @bolded.
If you don't agree with them you're tagged racist, misogynist, and whatever.

Some people's idea of free speech is that they can say and do whatever they want, but when you respond accordingly it becomes an outrage. Fvcked up world.

To hell with political correctness.

OK. I was among those who cut off Netflix in December .All the series muh kids were watching had a lot of LBGTQ themes.
My decision to terminate 12$ month family account had alot do with the woke content and not Russia sanctions.

I only use Netflix when NARCOS release new season. It's my sister and her family using my account mostly.

I've also just seen that their Direct Debit went from £12 to £14 last year so they will be having price elasticity of demand issues too. Also their content is not exhaustive, you can go through films or series that interest you in one year.

But most important to what's happening to their price is how a speculative bubble corrects. Netflix only have to lose 10% of their income for the stockmarket to flatten their price by 50% or more. Same will happen to any tech company that falls behind expectations in this current environment where speculative money is being unwound.

Its also true that a lot of people who don't support these transgender thing are also cutting their sub. The woke thing can be quietly inserted with no one noticing or care about it. But when the company comes out and make it plain by their statement then they will see backlash. Sometimes when another company like Disney does it... It also affect other companies because the actions on Disney will expose the similar trends on Netflix.

A lot of things are behind their decline... But wokeness also adds to it.

Good for her.
I am wondering why the push to impose far left ideas on the population.
In schools CRT is being taught, diversity and equity is being promoted, . Netflix series nowadays it seems most include LBGTQ prominently.

What is the end game with this?

Netflix did not renew Obama series too a few weeks ago.
I don't think they meet Netflix expectations with their shows so they did not renew.

Was paying 12$ per month
I noticed my kids becoming antisocial spending all their time on their gadgets watching money heist which I was also watching.What piqued me off is a Convo about gender identity , where some 'robber'insinuated that you can be a woman trapped in man's body.
That was it. Had enough and have not renewed my subscription since then.
I poked around FB and realized a lot of people also had misgivings about the underlying theme being pushed.

I'll try showmax on a single account ,If they have woke content , I'm not joining.

Back to Netflix. They are bleeding subscribers bigly because of those themed series. Of course they will blame COVID, inflation, downplay how many have cancelled ( won't reveal how many are stopping monthly payments instead of cancelling).

As far as saying 200k less subscribers caused their stock to tank, in a corporate world with public ownership you downplay any negative growth. I have a feeling they have bled more users over their woke content. More than they have duty of care to admit

The bolded is spot on. When they get censored on twitter or Reddit, they jump on to the Social Media (SM) 1 site offering them the chance to spread hate till it becomes too much for the moderators of SM1, SM1 kicks em' out and they move on to SM2, SM2 starts moderating and kicks them out as well, they move on to SM3, they get kicked out too and the cycle continues.

As per the tweet by Dr. Johnson, Parler and Gab had no choice than to moderate/ban.

Aside the darkweb, Gab is pretty full of far right extremists content; yet, it had to censor/moderate still. I remember Chris Cantwell got kicked off Gab. There is only so much that these SM sites can allow.

https://www.newsweek.com/social-media-site-gab-bans-crying-nazi-killing-leftists-1367679

Christopher Cantwell also known as the Crying Nazi, is an American white supremacist, neo-Nazi, antisemitic conspiracy theorist and convicted felon.

Same with Parler, and Truth Social which even went as far as moderating users for making fun of it's CEO and moderating Trump's buddy (Roger Stone).

This is what the former ceo of reddit has repeatedly warned Elon musk about. Musk has a view of the internet that was like Nairaland 06 to 10. Civilised discourse for the most part. Even in the religious flame wars there was some level of decorum. Today it is all hate and hate and hate and vitirol.

Imagine the redpiller muppets or the female future or religious maniacs or the tribal warriors with even more freedom than they have now.

Musk will learn the hard way.

Ediat does not know the bullet the whole world dodged. Fascist dictatorships are bad for business. Maybe musk cannot see himself being forced to kiss the ring.

In proper perspective.There are racists.Not all of them are white.Blacks born in America have no time for immigrants from Africa.correct me if I'm wrong.The Chinese are worse.
Japan allows almost zero immigrants into their country.
Racists. When they get a chance to espouse hatred on a public platform anonymously They will gladly do it.
Moderation in a public forum is necessary. We have some idiot who wants to kill this thread by soiling it any moment he can. He shoulda been banned by now.

Big tech hinders access to relevant topics that can influence change. Why ban Brandon Straka who founded the Walkaway movement from Dems to republicans and leave Taliban? While Iran Mullahs chanting death to America every Friday are not banned. I think Quds day has passed. Twatter has not been banning these accounts that call for open murder, yet they ban accounts accounts reporting the factual contents of Hunter Bidens laptop from hell. Which Rudy Giuliani implied has child porn.

We also have paid trolls whose work is to counter anything the left wants cancelled.

In your moral high horse seat You arrogantly declare that the aim of free speech is to spread hatred.

Elon bought out Twitter after realizing twatter was banning people from expressing their point of views. Babylon bee was banned because they satirically declared a transgendered 53 year old Biden appointee a man instead of his preferred "she" pronoun.

The left when unable to win a debate calls it's opposing views as racist. Too much usage of the race card gets to bore people .

I'll give an example. Michael Jackson was a black. Those who bought his records, attended his concerts, loved him were people across the divide- I prolly believe he made his wealth from whitey than from blacks ( who have a problem using an ID to vote). Mike Jordan calmly said it's not only blacks who were buying his shoes earning him a fortune.I believe the whites bought more Air Nike than blacks.

The trend nowadays is to tag racist to anyone who does not imbibe leftist nonsense

On a side note. Did you know free YouTube will offer you 3 months free so they don't bombard you with adverts every 3 minutes? That's the lenght they'd frustrate you to pay for their content to be pushed down your throat.

If America did in Nigeria what America has done to Iran, I might likely chant and if you don't join every Friday you might be considered very ignorant of the facts.

Netflix lost subscribers because they couldn't keep re-runs of fan-favourite content on their platform, and couldn't produce high quality, long-running original content. Their series either start off as duds or immediately drop in quality after a season or two because they are more interested in pushing an agenda than entertaining you.

Netflix is only really good for foreign language shows.

Bas, do you seriously not see they are tanking because magas like you are finding better things to do with your dollars? Don't you see they are tanking from all time highs off the profits of unthinking consumers like you paying to have woke pushed down your throat?

They are tanking because your eyes are finally opening so you can see not to be paying them $12-14, bas! And they don't care if you are convinced or not, they just need access to your time and your mind, preferable with you paying for it too for as long as you would, but they know it's a temporary gig that will up one day.

They'll find new ways to get $12-14 from maga bas. You'd gladly pay for kraken.

I agree that their follow on shows have been poor quality. That's due to time pressure, rushing out the next hit and spreading funds too thin

As for movies being woke, filmmaking has never been a conservative sport. Nobody pays to watch an accountant pay taxes all his life, never cheat on his wife and die at 80 years old. They pay to see something different whether that's action, or whether it's a human struggle.
