Netflix is like that kid you knew in elementary school who always told lies. Saying stuff like "Yeah, my dad is a billionaire with a rocket car and he invented toothpaste!"

Why are we believing anything that Netflix has to say? They are most likely using some obscure way to calculate that number in order to try to retain the customers they have left.

From all the social media posts, I'm pretty sure they lost a good chunk of customers. Don't let them win with their slowly deteriorating content and rising prices. Instead, sail the high seas like the internet of old time!

“Yeah, my dad is a billionaire with a rocket car and he invented toothpaste!”

There was a girl who lived down the street from me at one point who swore to the whole neighborhood that her dad sued the local Burger King for millions of dollars because he found rat turds on his burger. No, Victoria, we all live in a trailer park in singlewides, that BK didn't even have millions to take, come on now lol.

When I was a kid I told everyone my neighbor was Ronald Reagan. I later learned that guy's last name was actually Segan. It was already too late, though. I'm pretty sure all the people I told were convinced that the former president lived on my culdesac.

Maybe Victoria just got her dad's rat turd story mixed up.
