Aw, don’t even try it. You ain’t cancelling ■■■■■

bluedogdem · 2018-05-30T14:13:11.613Z

wait with all the content on Netflix your tipping point was the Obama’s getting a gig on there…lololol why didnt none of you cancel when Kevin Spacey was touching lil boys…

Is there really this type of a clinging need by people, to hang onto politicians like this? It’s creepy.

Grimalken · 2018-05-30T14:22:22.833Z

Netflix is about entertainment, and if they see a niche market where they can make a profit, they will produce that type of show. It’s just weird to me that they thought there was such longing and need by people to see more of the Obama’s. What’s next, a Paul Ryan show?

They are just politicians people, you vote for them, they server their term, they leave office, move on already.

That’s true. New Sat tv provider I went through and added only the channels I know I’ll watch/be interested in to my favorites. Net flix – was mostly watched by my kids when I got it a few years back. They are older and don’t watch it as much. I pulled it up maybe once a week.

All factors considered, I can use the $10 bucks ($120 a year) on something else.

Snow96 · 2018-05-30T14:30:21.691Z

Already (mostly) cancelled.

Your cancellation confirmation
Hi (snow96),
As you requested, we’ve cancelled your membership effective Saturday, June 2nd, 2018

End of my billing cycle it’s not available to me anymore.

Changed my name to the name I use here.

I also joined the 21st century and no longer have a land line as of Saturday either.

Yet another reason for dropping netflix.

They gave Michelle Wolf her own show even after the press club controversy.

The Break With Michelle Wolf on Netflix, reviewed.

Netflix does have a lot of garbage, but so does cable, Hulu, and network TV. I’ve seen some good stuff on Netflix too though.

If nothing else I would have to hang on to netflix because of NCIS.

Snow96 · 2018-05-30T14:34:22.397Z

Not one that I watch.

With all the other pay services cropping up. Netflix isn’t exclusive anymore. To get a lot of the stuff I want to watch I’d have to pay netflix and at least 2 other companies. So I’ll find new stuff to watch, or dust off the old dvd collection and re-wach a bunch of the old classics.

Attn: Snow – Netflix said today the new Obama productions will not have a political slant.

Variety – 29 May 18

Netflix Exec: Productions From the Obamas Will Not Have a ‘Political Slant’

Netflix has inked a multiyear deal with the Obamas for original programming — but the content from the former First Couple will not have any political bias, according to chief content officer…

Candyman · 2018-05-30T18:44:28.633Z

It ain’t gonna matter. To the hyper-partisans just the fact that the Obamas exist and that they are still going to be in the public eye is enough to enrage them. Meh. Let them have their tantrums. Let them cancel their subs. Ain’t gonna affect my life. Heck, maybe it’ll speed up Netflix ever so slightly.

I’ll believe that when I see it.

Snow96:

Same with the Obam’s. What experience do they have in creating, directing, writing and staring in movies, documentaries and such.

Good to see a Trump supporter suddenly so concerned with job experience.

And frankly, you talking about Netflix as a moderator on a huge tv show’s message board is far more valuable to them as a brand than your 8 bucks a month was.

gooddad409 · 2018-05-31T13:45:45.359Z

Trump certainly had more job experience than Obama. Community organizer doesn’t amount to much and it showed.

gooddad409 · 2018-05-31T13:47:02.707Z

Will believe that when I see it. I don’t plan to watch them anyway. I will stick to NCIS, Blue Bloods, Frasier, etc.

mkh · 2018-05-31T13:48:37.980Z

Well if you mean he had more experience having a job, sure, because he’s 70 some year old.
If you mean in government, nope.
If you mean experience as president, nope as they both had zero.

gooddad409 · 2018-05-31T13:51:41.794Z

He’s a billionaire businessman. Much more practical experience than Obama. He knows how to negotiate deals for one thing.

mkh · 2018-05-31T13:52:19.646Z

Yeah, no. But whatever.

I cancelled Netflix and Hulu last night because of this and the fact Roseanne was pulled from Hulu. I’m done enriching commies.

Lol you didn’t cancel jack.

Trumps admin is filled to the brim with sycophants and nepotism. No one knows their ass from their elbow. Trump’s experience pretty much ends at either conning people or suing people. Obama had infinitely more political experience and saved all of our asses by helping the economy from crashing. Whether you appreciate it or not.

gooddad409 · 2018-05-31T17:39:52.473Z

The Obama administration was filled with corrupt political hacks.

The economy slowly recovered in spite of Obama not because of him.
