Sadly, I don’t think that’s it. They were getting too much pushback, and in the end, the threat that they WANTED to do it was enough of a threat to us.

The threat of streaming the execution accomplished its purpose. The fact that they were *willing* to do it was a performance of brutality meant to impress and scare us. But…it made people angry. Intensified opposition. Their threats are motivating people to fight harder.

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.
