Netflix Resumes Advertising on X After Elon Musk Controversy::Netflix has resumed advertising on X following a suspension by the streamer and other brands after Elon Musk promoted an antisemitic post.
“Ahh, it’s been a week, no one remembers that ol Elon Musk agreeing with Nazi rhetoric thingy. Let’s spool those ads up again. We’re definitely seeing a return on our marketing budget by advertising on the platform known for being mostly bots!”
If there is a large following of Trump who is regurgitating Nazi rhetoric… it unfortunately makes sense to keep marketing at least here.
Good thing my torrent site of choice doesn’t advertise on Xtwitter.
Dammit, Netflix. I can’t cancel my subscription twice.
Capitalism. As soon as bad PR is over, it’s back to business.
Yep, I guess it’s time to cancel Netflix.
why do you still have it after all this time
Because they we’re really doing anything bad until now. Raising prices is not a dick move. It’s a private company offering entertainment. They can milk it however they want and I can cancel it when I decide it’s not worth it.
I’d argue it’s not been worth it for a long time. Also raising prices may not be that bad but
limiting your access to only one IP adresspreventing password sharing definitely is a dick move.Well, that’ really depends if you like their content or not, right?
Also, they don’t limit your access to one IP. You can download things on your tablet to watch later and you can stream from different locations when you travel. They really only complain if you stream from two completely different geographical locations at the same time.
Define “different geographical equations”. Can you still share it with a friend? I thought they prevented that.
No, you define “limiting access to one IP”. Because they don’t do that. It’s not the same as preventing password sharing. They can prevent sharing password without limiting IP addresses.
okay preventing password sharing is a dick move then
Always has been.
Why? What did they do before?
They banned password sharing (family account) if everyone doesn’t live in the same location sometime ago.
I don’t see this as a dick move. The rules were clear from the start, they just started enforcing theme. It’s not a bait and switch or something.
Ssh we’re mad at netflix, you’re not supposed to be defending them…
Shm yeah netflix may be scum, but enforcing password sharing policies, which had been part of the EULA from day 1, isn’t scummy.
They marketed 4 streams. Not 4 seats. [And only getting 1 seat 4 times, which is fucking pointless.] That’s a whole different meaning. No one reads the EULA so it doesn’t fucking matter what horse shit Naziflix puts in the fine print.
Pussies.
This is what happens every time youtube has an apocalypse. They stay away long enough to feel like they’ve made their point and then they resume advertising like nothing happened. Maybe it’s not advertisers who hold the power and everyone should stop being so scared of them.
Time to find Netflix ads next to neo Nazi posts…sure glad I got rid of Netflix.
Maybe Netflix has decided that having their ads shown next to neo-Nazi propaganda is a good look for them.
Maybe I know nothing about business but why would Netflix even need to advertise there? I’m not even sure they have to advertise at all anymore.
There probably were a lot of discussions and negotiations, but a lot of the public only sees Netflix going back to Twitter. I’m sure Elmo fans will promote this as Netflix having to bow down
Fuck Netflix. They support fascism.

I’m happy that I’ve cancelled my Netflix a while ago.
Now watch as all the corporations that paused their advertising slowly return to the platform.
They were always going to. As long as Xitter has a user base with money to spend, the large corporations do not care. Anything they do like withdrawing advertising is all for show.
And after all, are you going to cancel your Netflix subscription over this? I actually probably would personally but my partner uses it quite a lot, so we’re sticking around. Some people will cancel no doubt but nowhere near a critical mass that will affect their bottom line and they know it.
You would cancel your Netflix subscription because they advertise on X?
Fuck yes. They might as well advertise on Stormfront or Nambla or any other conservative site.
Fuck them. By spending money on a fascist platform, they are materially supporting fascism.
