THERE’S BEEN A LOT OF TALK ABOUT SO-CALLED ‘CANCEL CULTURE’ THESE days, but the main thing being cancelled seems to be Netflix. There’s no doubt that we are living in a time that it would be an understatement to describe as ‘tumultuous’. Even so, it is still quite shocking to see the brand go from hero to zero overnight.
Okay, admittedly that’s a teensy bit of an overstatement, but Netflix just lost 200 000 subscribers and more look likely to follow. In the great scheme of things, 200 000 may not sound like a huge loss, but it must be said that Netflix had said it expected to gain 2.5 million viewers during the same period. So, viewed in that context, I can see that is quite bad.
However, in a bid to cheer Netflix up, I would like to hereby announce that I am not cancelling Netflix. Yet. Yes, I will continue to use it, at least as long as my electricity eventually comes back on, and I am not having to pay R5 000 for a bag of flour and a handful of mouldy turnips.
