Entertainment companies continue to shoot themselves in the foot with their toxic wokeness. They never seem to learn. The Netflix streaming service is just the latest company to learn the hard way that Americans are sick and tired of being preached at by gay communists. We just want to be entertained. Tell us good stories! But no—they have to keep ramming their woke narratives and weak storylines down consumers’ throats and can’t seem to figure out why their industry is dying.

Netflix has been struggling for a while now because of its lame programming. Its movies and TV shows have become so bad that you can constantly find memes mocking its ridiculous historical revisionism. Contrary to the beliefs of the story writers at Netflix, there were never any one-legged black lesbian Viking queens who conquered England and no one wants to sit through nonsensical garbage like that anyway.

The subscriber churn at Netflix had slowed down for a while this year, though. Since February, the company has only lost 0.9% of its subscribers every month. That’s about how many new monthly subscribers it takes on, so at least the company was sort of breaking even on that front (though not growing).

That all changed in July when Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings just couldn’t keep his mouth shut about politics. He was one of the wealthy leftwing donors who started insisting that Joe Biden step down after Donald Trump ended Joe’s career on the debate stage. As if it was all a big surprise to Reed Hastings that Joe suddenly had dementia.

Not only that but after Kamala Harris was coronated as Biden’s successor, Hastings publicly endorsed her for president. To their credit, some of the executives at Netflix were frantically waving their hands in the air and trying to shoosh him as this happened.

But Hastings didn’t listen. After endorsing her, he announced that he had donated $7 million to a super PAC supporting Kamala Harris. That became too much for a chunk of Netflix’s subscriber base.

The hashtag #CancelNetflix started trending on social media after Hastings couldn’t keep his mouth shut about his personal politics. Netflix suddenly lost almost 3% of its subscribers in July. The number of monthly cancellations tripled after his big donation to Harris.

This marks just the latest in a long string of losses for an entertainment industry that used to actually be entertaining. More than 2 million Spotify users erased their Taylor Swift playlists after she endorsed Kamala Harris. Disney cut 300 jobs during the last week in September and fired another 75 employees at ABC News. Disney then combined two TV studios and eliminated another 30 jobs.

Paramount is near the end of laying off some 2,000 employees this year. The CEO of Sony stepped down and had to be replaced after managing to make the first movie in the Spider-Man universe that was a box-office flop. “Madame Web” took in a measly $40 million against a $100 million budget. AT&T is cutting its losses and selling off DirecTV. Apple has decided it won’t be releasing any more of its movies in theaters for a while, after back-to-back flops this summer.

The irony is that all of these problems are self-inflicted. It’s not as if the entertainment industry is suffering because of the Biden-Harris economy. People are turning to alternatives because the entertainment industry just won’t shut up about politics. We keep telling them that this is the problem but they don’t listen and they just keep churning out cr*p.
