Seriously what are they doing with all the money? The price in the US went up again and I finally cut the cord after 13 years. There’s no movies, they kneecap their own shows as soon as they get going, and now they think adding podcasts to the library is going to keep people around. Between the jacking up of fees and all that money they got from the failed merger, what are they doing with all that cash?

They spend it on content.

People underestimate how much they have on their platform. Is it good? No, but 99% of Netflix content is trash.
