> Plenty of people manage to pay the rent without needing to completely compromise their sense of "moral clarity" or "ideological purity".

The point is these people need to find that fulfilling work somewhere else if they object to what their current employer requires them to do. "Ideological purity" and morals are not shared by everyone equally... and if Netflix were to comply with these fringe employee demands, they would lose subscribers who want to watch, for example, the Chappelle special and more.

Netflix isn't a church group... it's a for-profit organization that will always try to give it's customers what they want, despite what some crusading employees think.

Netflix subscribers really just want to watch the office and friends on repeat though.

It just looks better to blame the employees than the managers and owners that theyve lost access to the content that subscribers want

You’re right. Netflix is a for-profit organisation, with employees. “It’s capitalism, so employees get no right to exercise any discretion” is a uniquely nonsensical and frankly American take. If this is truly a fringe issue that nobody cares about, it can be ignored by everyone, including you. Yet here we are.
