Its worse than them becoming cable tv: They're BORING tv now. I imagine a large segment comes and goes when Stranger Things releases, which is a bad read. Less than a decade ago, we all saw Netflix as the second coming of HBO. Now its just bad tv.

Also I figured the rates would go up after the WWE deal, and I was right: they axed the lowest ad tier the day after.

I resub for Stranger things and then I unsub. Simple.
