The comments are just so much worse than the top posts. It is akin to Twitter after Musk pushed the main active user base away in exchange for a Faustian deal with right wingnuts. That or Reddit was truly duplicitous in their messaging and are perfectly fine taking money from propaganda organizations running in other countries which can pay the API fees to push narratives still. Not that they’d want that before an IPO or anything…
That’s not accurate. The article is about Australia. Netflix Australia had a net loss of 200K subscribers specifically due to the anti-consumer moves they’ve made which affects a lot more than just sharing a password with a family member. That’s a 3% decline in a major country. Meanwhile, Netflix rivals had subscriptions increase overall and several saw huge surges. Netflix remains #1 by total subscribers in Australia, but that shouldn’t shock anyone given the inherit momentum they possess.
The article was never about Netflix globally. It was always about Australia. Companies operate business units in regions, and each region must perform.
Went to reddit to see what the top posts were. Not much has changed.
“I kicked a puppy. AITA?”
“Gang of teens beat up an elderly homeless guy. Not ragebait.”
“What are your favorite dating tips? Help me write my fluff article.”
you forgot “Men have it so much harder than women and here’s an entire fucking essay on why you bitches!!”

So the same shit as here, except for the “look at how bad Reddit is now” posts?
99% of lemmy posts are reposts from reddit.
There is currently a top voted Lemmy post that says “netflix lost 200k users, crackdown backfired”. It is a repost that was on reddit yesterday.
Netflix gained 5.9 million users in the same period. Lemmy users are just as woke as redditors.
