Comments by "" (@orboakin8074) on "Why Netflix Is Collapsing: The Coming Netflix Crisis" video.

1. Get Woke, Go Broke! 2. Stupid short-sighted company policies like the binge series model instead of sticking with the traditional weekly episodic model. 3. Green-lighting any show without proper research into viability or profitability while axing good shows quickly before they gain ground. 4. Downplaying increasing competition like how Block Busters made the same mistake. 5. Pricing themselves in face of growing competition.

@habibi_py Oh, friend, most of us don't believe it is only wokeness that is Netflix's issue. It is simply one of many factors. Even in my comment, I literally listed other reasons why they are currently failing.

@habibi_py Friend, what most of us people don't want is art and media (especially escapist media) being used to push politics or ideology of any kind. Rather, politics and ideology should be used to enhance the art/media's story and plot and characters. There is a difference. Attack on Titan uses themes and subject matter like racism, xenophobia, generational guilt, authoritarianism etc to enhance its story and develop the world and characters. It doesn't push any of these ideologies or tell the audience what to think or believe. Conversely, X-Men Green, an American comic literally has a mutant eco-terrorist go on a killing spree stabbing normal people because a sea turtle choked on a plastic wrapper and she was sad by this and she never faces punishments or condemnation for this crime.

Matthew Collins Okay, first off, I am 28 (I doubt that makes me a boomer unless you factor in my being born before the internet became ubiquitous). Also, having racially or gender diverse or LGBT characters does not equal being woke. I am black and I relate more with good well written characters than simply those who look like me. Being woke means having tokenism instead of good characterisation and simply focusing on leftist ideology and using a show/medium and said token characters to push it. Stranger Things and Arcane have diverse characters who are also very well written and the shows are incredibly well made and have great plots. That is the antithesis of being woke. Another example is literally any popular mainstream or non-mainstream anime. Most are Japanese characters and many are female and even quite a few are LGBT but they are so well written that everyone (even non-Japanese people like me) enjoys them and relates with them.

Matthew Collins I am glad we both agree on that, friend. The best kind of diversity is diversity that works and that focuses more on great characterisation.
