So yeah, showing even a single ad is just the fire I need to remember to cancel.
But I just don't think the way culture is moving in the US is that compelling to the rest of the world (and for many in the US). And in that way both netflix and most TV shows are based on cultural values of california.
I'm not in the US and the way almost any US movie/show has to bring the race question into it is super annoying. And I don't even mean the character make up, like fine, I don't give a shit what race actors are, if they are great actors. But literally every story always has to go into race somehow, every film somehow has references to who's black and who's white. Frankly it's racist but reverse racist really, it's pretending to be culturally sensitive but in the end you are still making everything about race, i.e. racism.
I don't care. Stop it. I don't care about racism or about the colour of people. Leave me alone and show me a good story.
Streaming services aren't social networks with lots of user generated content, that probably matches to the country where people use it. At least it's much less that. You can't force people to like California culture if they don't.
Myself, as a Canadian - I have been hoping that a copyright holder would actually take someone to court here after our laws were changed, to actually test the lifetime maximum "damages" amount of $5,000.
