Just days after a nature documentary hosted by former president
Barack Obama launched on Netflix, the streaming company is in
shambles, with its shares in freefall.
On April 13, Netflix released all five episodes of its
documentary series Our Great National Parks, produced and
narrated by Obama. While culture critics in the liberal media
received the series warmly—even as one admitted, "I can't say
that I learned a tremendous amount"—investors were less
convinced.
In a stunning show of pessimism in the company's situation,
Netflix's stock imploded on Tuesday, plunging 37 percent by
Wednesday morning. The collapse was driven by Netflix's Tuesday
announcement that it lost subscribers last quarter for the first
time in more than a decade. The service is scrambling to remedy
its poor subscriber numbers, announcing last month that it plans
to start charging customers for sharing their accounts with
others.
The company's decline is a reflection of the failure of its
costly partnership with the former president. Netflix in 2018
entered into a multi-year agreement with Obama and his wife
Michelle to produce films and series. It's unclear exactly how
much cash the company burned to hire the Obamas, but considering
that Netflix paid the creator of Glee $300 million for a five-
year deal, the amount was likely exorbitant.
Through that deal, the Obamas brought to Netflix a documentary
called American Factory, about an Ohio auto factory bought out
by a Chinese state-backed company. While the film purported to
shed light on a clash of cultures and the struggles of the
American working class, it instead served as "a platform for
Communist oligarchs to propagandize."
If Communist propaganda wasn't unpalatable enough for viewers,
the Obamas are reportedly working to bring to Netflix a kids
show called Listen to Your Vegetables & Eat Your Parents, a
revival of Michelle Obama's failed crusade to get kids to eat
healthier.
In Barack Obama's latest series, he takes viewers on a tour of
the planet's greatest national parks and their wildlife, from
the sea otters of California's Monterey Bay to the lions of his
native country, on Kenya's Yatta Plateau.
Some critics of Netflix argue that the company's programming
across the board, not just the content the Obamas brought to the
site, is to blame for the company's hemorrhaging of subscribers.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Tuesday that the "woke mind virus" has
made Netflix "unwatchable."
That critique is borne out by Netflix's release this week of
He's Expecting, a Japanese film about a "successful cisgender
man" forced "to confront social inequities he'd never considered
before" when he becomes pregnant.
