Oh hell no, Netflix better not be trying to EEE Blender or be trying to buy them out.

Is Netflix evil these days?

There have several reports recently of Netflix pressuring writers/directors/producers to create shows and movies tailored to distracted consumers. Basically, telling them to repeat plot points in dialog so that people ‘watching’ while doing other things can keep up.

I’d put that in the evil category along with advertising and media company consolidation.

That’s just knowing your audience.

Or maybe they’re distracted because the show isn’t that great, and doing this makes it even more not great lol.

I could accept that for the all the slop they produce as ling as it would prevent stuff like Santa Clarita Diet from being cancelled, especially on a cliffhanger

Sure but I think that’s the least evil evil thing they could do

Maybe they should give them extra money and resources so they can produce two versions: normal, and background mode with reiteration littered through it.

So they’re evil for catering to their customers?

If you don’t like that in movies don’t watch their movies…
