  The backlash where Netflix's profit went up and it was generally a success and Netflix didn't change anything at all...?

  Or was there another one I missed? Or am I confused?

    That’s exactly my point. All this ‘widespread backlash’ doesn’t amount to anything unless it hurts their bottom line. There was a huge backlash when netflix introduced password sharing crackdown, but it ended up a success for them.

      Oh, I didn't get what you meant I guess because people kept saying they were cancelling their accounts, I didn't think of it as a non-action backlash.

      There, of course, weren't really that many people upset or cancelling

        It felt like there were a lot of us who cancelled, but clearly not enough

  Sounds like we need to get the ELF and the RTR folks on a conference call.
