‘Cuties’ Backlash Led Netflix U.S. Cancellations to Spike Nearly Eightfold, Analytics Firm Says


A campaign waged against Netflix over “Cuties” and the film’s sexualized portrayal of children produced a surge in U.S. subscription cancellations over the weekend, according to research company YipitData.

Netflix subscriber churn rates began to rise Sept. 10, the day after the release of “Cuties” on Netflix, when the hashtag “#CancelNetflix” was in the top-trending spot on Twitter, according to data compiled by YipitData.

On Saturday, Sept. 12, Netflix’s cancellation rate in the U.S. jumped to nearly eight times higher than the average daily levels recorded in August 2020 — reaching a multiyear high, the data-analytics provider told Variety. With the #CancelNetflix hashtag continuing to trend on social media, it is possible elevated churn could continue in the coming days, according to the firm.

Boy that stupid Acostas cat sure has a punchable face. Him orchestrating that deal with Epstein was terrible and I can't believe Trump let him near the WH.

My wife was mad that I canceled until I showed her the 2min clip on Twitter. Her draw dropped then she thanked me.

I laughed out loud the first time I read that excuse.

These people think we're retarded. It was quite clear what the movie and its director were trying to portray. A poor, oppressed girl from a religious/conservative family "coming of age" and "empowering herself" through dance and the embracing of her female sexuality.

To try and pretend it's anything but that is pathetic. Own your shite.

An expose doesn't glamorize the type of shite it's trying to condemn. It's like creating an expose on drug use by portraying an impoverished young man who uses LSD to become a rich and famous surrealist artist.

Bee: New Netflix Movie Actually Murders Puppies To Teach That Murdering Puppies Is Bad

quote:

etflix is embroiled in controversy yet again with its new documentary Puppy Murder, a show where the director kills puppies to teach you that murdering puppies is bad.

The movie is just two hours of puppies being brutally murdered onscreen, sending a powerful message to the viewer about just how bad puppy murder is. From getting shot and stabbed to being run over with a steamroller and the inspiring climactic scene where a puppy is dropped into a volcano, the movie unequivocally and powerfully shows the brutal reality of puppy murder.

guess the pervs have to try something else.

“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!"

I wrote in the box my reasoning for the cancel was for their support of pedophiles. I wonder how many of those same messages their sales people got lol.

My SO kept wanting to subscribe. Her daughter never helped. Then she learned about Cuties, she's glad she never signed up.

Had a conversation on the ole FB about this one.

The girl states that it was an expose and it was necessary to bring to light the sexualization of children.

My response. 'So to bring attention to an issue, you must take part in the issue? Rape is a problem. I guess I'll just go around raping until people notice the problem.'

I cancelled mine. The director and Netflix are blaming conservatives for being outspoken on something they haven’t watched yet. I purposely don’t need to watch children being explored to know I strongly disagree with it and cancel. Screw you netflix.
