When you go woke, you run the risk of going broke, and apparently, Netflix is pulling the ripcord before the streaming giant good and fully faceplants.
Following a financial report that saw its stock price plummet 37 percent in late April, Netflix is now moving to adjust its culture and reengage its frustrated audience. A new “culture memo” dealing with “artistic expression” has been sent out, and it’s clearly a shot at the woke staffers who have been sandbagging the company. Excerpts come via The Daily Wire.
“If you’d find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you,”

“If you’d find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you,”
This reads to me as a doubling down on their diversity inclusive programming that is so bad it has become meme material.

Netflix may have lost market share and stock value by going woke. But I think its biggest problem is the lost content. EVERYBODY has their own streaming service and they want you to join their service to watch their content. I subscribe to three services now, I'm not inclined to subscribe to another half dozen. The market is being dilutes and spread out with everyone having their own exclusive content.

The new Mike Meyers "Pentavarate" comic miniseries is nothing but a Woke sermon for the last three minutes of the movie. It's so ridiculous, it's funnier than the movie.

Was Obama in on that memo decision?
I am pretty convinced that this is grandstanding optics by Netflix.
However, all companies and schools should understand the value of the woke embeds intentional planted in their midst.

Haven’t we been saying this all along? If you have a problem with working here, go someplace else. You are not in charge. It’s amazing that a company has to get hit in the pocketbook to get their attention and remind them that they have an obligation to shareholders.

Paramount had the first "recycled" Star Trek episode script linking January 6th to the so called past World War III nuclear war. It was supposed to be a stab at freedom loving constitutionalists but when I listened to the line I thought, yep, the fascists stole the election and got us into a nuclear war.

From a comment after the article:
"Even before we get to the trans issue on Netflix, we have the Gay, GAY, GAY!!! issue in their programming. I can't tell you the number of shows that work a gay character into the script for no apparent reason or plot advancement or relevance , other than saying Gay is okay.
It is reported that 2-3% of Americans are gay. Fine, I can accept that. then why must gay characters appear in 20-30% of Netflix shows?
This is not a homophobic rant, It is a complaint from someone who detests being brainwashed and told the abnormal is normal."
The same could be said should one substitute 'black' for 'gay'. The percentages on TV do not reflect real life. Is this type of 'social engineering' written into law somewhere?

Watch and see what they actually DO, and don't get too distracted by what they SAY.

All TV has gone Woke. I used to think people who eschewed TV were elite snobs, but I find myself doing the same thing now.
There are particular movies or items I want to watch but after that it goes off. No channel surfing for me.

Ok. I’ll hold off on cancelling, to see if there are positive results.

Re #15, the near vanishing of white people from the planet where they make TV commercials is the latest example of how truly insane Hollyweird folks are.
Sorry, an all black cast of a commercial has become so repellent to me that I will NOT even consider your product if you put out commercials like that. Being a racists against whites makes me want to actively shun your product NOT purchase it. A few blacks in commercials....let's see - how about 12% or one in eight - is wonderful, just fine. But when the white people nearly vanish over a couple of months - stupidly obvious racism in hiring.
Drive away the 75% of one group in favor or pleasing the 12% group? Pretty stupid.

While at it, stop getting the likes of Obamas and Merkels on the programs.

If you read the article, at the end it says that Netflix fired the employee who led the walkout.
FTA: "The new hardline isn’t just in words, either. The employee who led that walkout has been fired."
If more companies fired troublemaking employees, there'd be a lot fewer troublemaking employees.

I can just imagine my boss at my first job right out of high school if I made a demand like these morons did. Mrs. Dawson, a 40 something, 95lb., 5' foot nothing, chain smoker would have taken my hand and said...O.K. Peggy Kay, follow me. She would have walked me to the elevator, rode down to the first floor, walked me across the lobby opened the door and then booted me in the rear saying...'Have a good day and better luck at your new job.'

There are hundreds of westerns, classic black and white ones, on YouTube, and they're free for the viewing. We always know who the bad guy is, the good guy, and who the heroine is. I highly recommend watching those rather than any of the trash on Netflix, Prime, or broadcast television.

You have to wonder how NETFLIX policy changes on wokeness are going to effect Harry and Meghan who are supposedly developing and producing NETFLIX programming as they claim to be the wokest of all?

Sounds like a great new Netflix series. Each episode shows an obnoxious woke employee's pathetic life, culminating in their firing in the last five minutes of the show.

I don't want to come across as "I told you so", but I cancelled Netflix the day after they announced that Susan Rice had been appointed to the board of directors. She's the same O'Bama bud that appeared on those 5 Sunday news shows explaining away Benghazi. Everything the Dems touch turns to excrement but I guess they just can't smell it.
