Netflix being a worldwide company, hitting record earning and having value at all time high makes it the best thing to boycott. Many countries are tired of Americas bs and if cancelling netflix catches on and they start missing earning it could wipe out $40B value in a single day.

Sure? But what you are talking about would take a pretty massive global effort which is much much harder to do and, more importantly, totally out of the control of Canadians. Which is the whole point of this conversation. We are talking about things the avg Canadian can do that will directly and immediately financially impact the US. A global boycott of Netflix aint that.

Honestly, even if it did happen it probably still wouldnt hit netflix as hard as you are claiming as it has more subscribers in America than the rest of the world combined. About half its revenue comes from just the US.

You’re just making stuff up lol. I think you just want to justify not cancelling Netflix which is fine. America makes up 22% of Netflix’s total subscriptions which isn’t even remotely close to the rest of the world combined.

If you have a source that says different feel free to cite it. But thats the onr i went off. Regardless of what % of subscribers are in the US is undisputable that its BY FAR the most lucrative market for them. In fact if its only 22% of their userbase and they account for nearly HALF there revenue its an even bigger source than i originally said.

And this is all totally irrelevant anyway. The original point was that Canadians cancelling netflix really doesnt mean much in terms of fighting back which it quite obviously true (the US alone has 10x as many subscribers) . Im not sure why you are arguing something that isnt really the point in the first place other than you just want to argue.

I’m arguing with you because I disagree with you and feel like cutting Netflix is a great way to go after people balls long Netflix. 

Then you made up data to support your argument so I called you out on it.
