 The tech works so well, and the businesses are so poorly managed. I’m not sure which is more surprising.

 @872ab8e1 Points to the article for leading with a statement that netflix is ALREADY PROFITABLE and this is clearly just greed. But towards the end the article succumbs to regurgitating the industry propaganda that the poor billionaire executives had to do it because of the strikes. Strikes don't cause greed. They've raised the price before when there were no strikes. Greed is all that motivates the industry. End of story.
