Vice leader Kamala Harris has been endorsed by Netflix co-founder and chairman Reed Hastings in the presidential election, according to reports that he made a sizable donation to help her campaign. Some reports suggested that this may have led to a rise in Netflix membership cancellations. According to Bloomberg, Netflix’s churning rate, the portion of users who cancel their service over a given period, nearly tripled in the US after Hastings ‘ endorsement.
After Hastings endorsed Harris on X and revealed the significant amount of his payment in July, Hastings ‘ supporters, according to Fox News, called on liberals to cancel their membership. After Joe Biden opted to withdraw from the race, Hastings posted” Congrats to Kamala Harris– then it is time to win.” Then, he revealed that he had given$ 7 million to a super PAC that supported her campaign, making it his largest contribution in support of a single candidate.
Immediately after Hastings ‘ support, fans of Donald Trump began urging citizens to cut the company. Some users posted pictures that showed they had shut down their balances using the hashtag# CancelNetflix.
Three weeks after the support, July 26 was the second worst time for Netflix cancelations this year. Daily delays resumed on July 29 and had remained steady ever since. Hastings, a long-time Democrat benefactor, was one of the prominent individuals who demanded that President Biden step down in the wake of his argument fiasco. In an internet obtained by the New York Times, Hastings wrote that” Biden needs to move aside to allow a robust Democratic president to beat Trump and keep us safe and prosperous.”
Hastings, along with his family Patty Quillin, have been important contributors to the Democratic Party, specifically in California. Hastings donated about$ 3 million to a commission established to prevent the governor’s recall campaign in 2021. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif.
