Netflix is an American technology and media services provider and production company headquartered in Los Gatos, California. Netflix was founded in 1997 by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph in Scotts Valley, California.

Why it Sucks Now

 * 1) Netflix's decline in quality began when they licensed Cuties, a film that is infamous for using actual footage of sexualized underage girls doing scripted sexual acts. This movie tries to say it's educating people and thinks it is against sexual exploitation of young kids but does it wrong by doing the same.
 * 2) Netflix's CEO, Ted Sarandos, even defended the film, which makes him a pedophile.
 * 3) Despite having a policy that content designed to incite hate or violence is not allowed, some comedians in Netflix's shows have been making homophobic and transphobic jokes.
 * 4) One example is Dave Chapelle, which closed with him intentionally misgendering a deceased trans woman and saying that he is "team TERF."
 * 5) Even worse, one of Netflix's trans employees tweeted her criticism of The Closer and she was suspended, and Netflix claimed that the reason for this suspension was attempting to attend a director-level meeting she was not invited to.
 * 6) Netflix defending The Closer lead to the Human Rights Campaign suspending the company's corporate equality index.
 * 7) Another Netflix comedy special hosted by Ricky Gervais contains graphic transphobic rants masquerading as jokes. Gervais also spews some anti-LGBT rhetoric and misinformation about HIV.
 * 8) Nowadays, Netflix is quite pricey for what it has to offer.
 * 9) The plans Netflix offers are:
 * 10) Basic ($9.99/month)-Stream or download on only 1 device at a time, stream only in SD.
 * 11) Standard ($15.49/month)-Stream or download on up to 2 devices at a time, stream in SD or HD.
 * 12) Premium ($19.99/month)-Stream or download on up to 4 devices at a time, stream in SD, HD, or UHD.
 * 13) To compare, Disney+ is only $7.99 per month (or $79.99 per year) and allows you to stream on up to 10 devices at a time with no resolution limit.
 * 14) There's no option to pay annually instead of monthly.
 * 15) Netflix is cracking down on password sharing and is testing a feature that would charge users extra for sharing accounts with people outside their household. The irony is that in 2017, Netflix made a tweet saying that love is sharing a password.
 * 16) They've laid off a lot of executives and directors of Netflix Animation, leading Netflix to cancel a lot of animated shows that have been greenlit and/or still ongoing.
 * 17) They keep milking The Boss Baby and Big Mouth, which were never good to begin with.
 * 18) Netflix has lost a lot of content to other streaming services introduced in recent years, including a lot of Disney content, which was moved to Disney+.
 * 19) Even Daredevil, which started out as a Netflix original, was moved to Disney+ after the US version started featuring more mature content in March 2022.
 * 20) They are known for canceling original shows for little to no reason, usually after the show's first season, despite some of those shows having good ratings on them.
 * 21) Sometimes they give inaccurate age ratings to some of their shows or movies. (e.g. teen TV shows are rated 18+ in many countries, which is equivalent to the NC-17 rating in the United States).
 * 22) They like to label several movies and shows like Glitter Force, The Sinner (a USA Network original), The Serpent (a BBC One Original), Happy! (a Syfy Original) and Puffin Rock as "Netflix Originals", even though they are made by other companies and that Netflix was never involved in their creation, which makes them egotistical.
 * 23) They also tend to label shows airing outside of the US such as Danger Mouse and Wakfu a Netflix Original.
 * 24) To make matters worse, the former only has one series divided into two seasons, and the latter's Season 1 trailer is in French with no way to change it to English with no Season 2 trailer.
 * 25) It can be hard to find something you like thanks to the horrible search engine that brings up shows that have nothing to do with what you typed in! The (number)% match feature was also useless as it is rarely below 80% and barely even works, for example, if you watch any preschool show, then virtually all other preschool shows will show up as 90% match or higher just because it is aimed at the same audience as the show you watched.
 * 26) They have a hobby of making bad live action adaptations of animated shows such as Death Note & Winx Club, as well as distributing bad Japanese live action anime films such as Fullmetal Alchemist (2017) under their banner. In fact, their live action adaptations are so bad that several social media users started mocking their adaptations by the popular " Manga vs Anime vs Netflix Adaptation " internet meme.
 * 27) They abuse the word "Anime" a lot, as whenever an anime styled cartoon comes out, they will label it as "A Netflix Original Anime Series" or "A Netflix Anime Film", despite being made by a western animation studio rather than Japanese, proving they are really blind.
 * 28) On the current TV version, there is a very annoying auto-preview feature where if you highlight a show for more than 1 second, a preview for the movie/show you selected plays, with sound. Thankfully, you can now disable this through the website. You can also remove certain shows from your "Continue Watching" section.
 * 29) Originally it was a collection of five previews with music that would either play in a loop or only show them once. However, they started slowly removing them in 2018 and replaced them with much more annoying previews featuring clips from the show/movie.
 * 30) Just like Disney and Warner Bros., they support Amber Heard. It has been reported that Tim Burton, one of the directors with whom Johnny Depp has worked more than one time throughout his career, wanted to cast Depp as Gomez Addams in the upcoming Addams Family reboot Wednesday, but Netflix barred Depp from joining the production due to Heard's allegations.
