Comment on Netflix Becomes Max-Level Patron Of Blender's Development Fund
LordMayor@piefed.social 4 days agoThere 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.

So they’re evil for catering to their customers?
If you don’t like that in movies don’t watch their movies…

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.

That’s just knowing your audience.
