Definitely agree with unethical, although net negative seems a lot harder to quantify. Amazon has a lot of bad practices I disagree with, but are they net negative? I find it difficult to assess. And even if they aren't net negative now, is the 10 year trajectory clearly downward?

Soloing out Netflix, is there anything particularly wrong with them? I have significant gripes with all the others but no specifics about Netflix.

Netflix: exploitative true crime docs and algorithmic recommendations with no way to opt out, auto-play, reality TV.

I'm stressed out about a lot of things happening in the world right now. While those things you listed aren't ideal, they don't make my top 10 list. I mean, it's hard to find a company that is ethically perfect and this sounds a lot better than most

I think so, yes. It's been that way for a good while.

The writers who are currently striking have a lot of things to say about Netflix being negative.
