Of course they will! This is the sad, sad reality of todays internet - the power is so centralized in the hands of like 4 companies, that every business basically can't ignore them. Like you can but by that you're just hurting yourself from the business point of view. Elon Musk can literally say Fuck You to advertisers and they still need to advertise there. This is just crazy. On nation level the anti-monopoly bureau would take action but we don't have world wide anti-monopoly bureau.

That's why when people tell me "Oh, Elon Musk just bankrupted Twitter" I say "Did he?". At this point I believe he can do anything he wants, he can murder like dozen people, blow up the headquartes or start selling drugs to children and Twitter would still be fine

I'm happy that I've cancelled my Netflix a while ago.

Can someone explain to me how this news is technology related? Can you stop posting unrelated stuff to this community?

It's a repost/crosspost bot and the admins/mods don't care to fix, disable, or ban it.

I haven't blocked it yet but I'm thinking I should.

The bot is grabbing it from somewhere. Idk where maybe reddit.

Maybe Netflix has decided that having their ads shown next to neo-Nazi propaganda is a good look for them.
