I gave Netflix a chance because of all the Palestinian content (I'm not even shitting) after being unsubbed for over a year since their underhanded tactics on family sharing, but I guess it's time to cancel again.

Remember... There is not a single corporation that gives a shit about you beyond your LTV (lifetime value) as a paying customer. "Pride week" and "Palestinian stories" type things are just mechanisms to get your money.

If they are told they make more money harming you, CEOs literally have a legal responsibility to choose that option. And right after they do, they will have an amazing dinner while laughing at how stupid you are and then sleep more peacefully than you have on the single best day of your entire life.

No they fucking don't.

They choose to do so out of greediness the vast majority of the time, but it isn't a legal obligation.

You are actually not wrong but if they dont obey BoD, it is the shed.

Bigger question here if this "simplification" is a valid tactic to communicate the message.

Theoretically BoD could sue the CEO, but i dont think that ever happened in this context... Only in cases of fraud, ie stealing company assets

There is no israel lobby within US companies.

This is just normal moderation to protect the vulnerable

See, that’s what I thought.

I need to spend less time on Israeli news sites and Reddit, but the whole point of visiting those is to see what the others think, but if you put yourself in an echo chamber you only hear the same things and I’m trying to avoid that.

I’ve just seen too many opinions exactly like that lately
