That's some real commitment to transphobia! Though I am once again reminding you that you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them."

Love my trans comrades! :trans-heart:

    Not like the "impact value" is any kind of real measurement though. The special got in the news and stuff so I'm sure it was worth it to Netflix.

      This is apparently Netflix's own internal valuation metric though. So Netflix seems to believe it was a net loss.

        Chapelle’s specials are some of the most rewatched on the whole platform. Keeping his stuff on there is worth the loss just to keep people engaged and not cancelling their subscriptions

        I’m sure they do that to try an excuse cuts. There’s no way they lost money. The amount of people who watched that and then switched over to another show or created more loyalty to Netflix is more than worth it for them.

        if only there were a comedy directed by a famous Jewish Comedian and starring a willy wonka which became a smash-hit musical which then became a movie again explaining how production loses can actually be gains.
