I expect Netflix will be taken over by another company or hedge fund etc in the coming year, and many more deals will be cancelled. Reed Hastings shoveled money to the Obamas as a legal bribe, and what has he gotten for his money? Can anybody name one show they've produced? If so, how successful was it?
Meghan and Harry's $135 million dollar content deal with Netflix was always ridiculous. Meghan is a C-list actress and Harry is a British royal, not the brightest people God ever put on the Earth. If you're going to spend $135 million, spend it on talented, creative people who could actually make something folks want to watch.
Nobody knows how much the Obamas got paid for their Netflix production deal, but my Hollywood sources say it's at least $300 million, and the Obamas get paid whether their shows get produced or not. Reed Hastings sure screwed over the workers at Netflix by throwing money at Barry and Michelle.
Here's a sample of one of the shows the Obamas are producing:
“Listen to Your Vegetables & Eat Your Parents,” a half-hour series for preschoolers that will “take young children and their families around the globe on an adventure that tells us the story of our food.”
$300 million for a glorified Sesame Street episode?
I'm canceling my Netflix at the end of this billing cycle, by the way. I have three streaming services: HBOMax, Amazon Prime, and Netflix. The first two have shows I actually want to watch, with HBO far and away the winner. Netflix runs a distant third. I originally signed up for Netflix to get DVDs, and Hastings foolishly disinvested resources in that part of the business. DVD rentals enabled Netflix to provide content for which it can't afford or get digital licenses and was very popular, but Barry, Harry, Michelle, and Meghan gotta get paid somehow.
