    I'm not cancelling Netflix. I cut the cable cord over a decade ago, but it was because I was tired of spending $200/ month on 600 channels, just so it took 1 1/2hrs to figure out there wasn't anything I wanted to watch. I watched like 6 shows.

    On Netflix, I find a bunch of interesting things to watch.
    I can skip obammys show. I skip the show(s) with that commie traitor Jane fonda, I can skip his.

    I tried the "moral high ground" of not supporting any liberal leaning company. We've reached a point where if you do that, you spend a lot of time staring at a wall, hungry. Probably naked, or nearly so.

    All I got left to say to them is, since I been funding you all these years, when you come for me, you better bring me some cool guns/gear.

    The good news about Netflix is that they know exactly what people are watching.

    So if you don't like an Obama show, don't watch it. If enough people don't watch it, Netflix will drop the show(s).

    I vote down programs of no interest without viewing.

    ^^This^^, Netflix is a business and the market eventually right itself. I am sure people will watch, but will drop out overtime, just like every other reality tv show.

    I'd only add, I don't begrudge a business trying to make a dollar. It's not public funded so if they think they can make money about a subject I don't support, that is up to them not me. I can vote with my dollars but honestly I feel I'm getting more good than bad concerning Netflix so I'm good.

    It's so easy to NOT watch something on NF.

    You mean Netflix may not be run by people with the same political beliefs as you?!

    You mean to tell me that Netflix is a business, and signing the Obama's was probably a great business deal, especially considering another streaming service could have done it first?

    Are you saying that you must cancel Netflix because there will be no other options than the Obama show and you will be forced to binge watch it?

    Gimme a break. Virtue signalling over this does literally nothing.

    I guess there are people still out there that value what Obama has to say. Just the other day it was said that Obama had reached out to Jay-Z to convince other rappers/celebrities of color NOT to meet with Trump. Well, when your replacement wipes away your legacy and can do more in 1 year than you could in 8, you almost have to have a TV show to explain yourself.

    I am a dumb 26 year old who wants to work in Hollywood. I went to school for it. I just graduated in December, applied to a master's program in film at USC (got rejected) and will apply again. I can't find a job in film, but I'm not quitting. I love film, I love it.
    .
    I know some people in Hollywood: My friend Preston Jones is an actor on NCIS, my friend James is an associate producer for Mark Burnette and also worked for Jerry Bruckheimer as Director of Photography on Black Hawk Down, CSI, Pirates of the Caribbean, A girl I dated is a producer for Comedy Central and Adult Swim. Its a tough industry. Millions audition, very few get accepted and a lot of people end up working for free. I tried getting an acting gig a couple of years ago on a Michael Mann film (Blackhat) - uncredited role-"a Russian standing in the background". But they chose to use Chinese actors. I'm not an actor but would love to be in a movie just to say I'm a movie star. Hollywood has a lot of problems and there unions usually end up with a lot of your money. There are independent studios popping up all over the place, Amazon has there own studios, Netflix has there own studios, YouTube has there own studios and many more are being started to get away from Hollywood. Full length feature films today are being streamed on Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, DirectTVNow, at a fraction of the cost. And that is the future of film and TV. Amazon is paying good money for talent, so is Netflix. Pretty soon, more and more streaming services will have there own studios and produce there own original content. Its less competitive, consistent salary and locations all across the US.

    netflix is so deep into buying out foreign stuff these days some good some really bad but passes them off as trendy cool ?
    that is the main reason I watch less is the quality of content has dropped IMHO

    also I prefer watching documentary stuff or other youtube channels about things I love Ronny Dahl off roading WA is a fun channel I prefer over watching some other idiocy of hollywood elites rather help that guy carve out a living
    no interest in the popular idiot channels that seem to be so huge with rich boys pranking people being stupid though ? but that is where todays society is at

    even playing games online with online friends is more entertaining than movies these days it seem
