Netflix Hemorrhages Subscribers in First Quarter 2022

Netflix lost over 200,000 subscribers in the first quarter of 2022 alone. The streaming service is on track to lose 2 million subscribers in the second quarter. The share in the company dropped 20% in the after-hours trading. Netflix has not lost subscribers in over ten years.

Elon Musk chimed in on the story by replying to a Slashdot article posting the story. Musk commented on the tweet, saying:

“The woke mind virus is making Netflix unwatchable.”

Netflix has released several shows and series that bend toward woke politics and themes, as well as sexually explicit content. Ibram X. Kendi, the author of Antiracist Baby, turned his book into an animated kids’ show. In 2o20, Netlfix created a show focusing on the story of Colin Kapernick’s life.

In 2020, Netflix cancellations were up 800%. This was right after Netflix released the Cuties movie, which highlighted, “Pre-pubescent girls in sexually provocative situations. Netflix defended the film as a social commentary against the sexualization of young children.”
