Everyone. I work at Netflix, and here's why we deleted the episode of Black Mirror where the guy pays, like, $3, and then he can skip through all the boring parts of his life. And then he wakes up, and he's, like, good, and he only remembers the loading screen. That whole episode, yeah, we deleted it for a very specific reason. And the reason why was that was just too depressing. People would come on Netflix, watch the show, watch a specific episode, and click off. Like, we can see those statistics and analytics, and it was really hurting our subscriber base when people were getting so depressed by it. They were unsubscribing even. And no, eventually, best made the decision to cut it. And, also, never acknowledge that it existed, which was part of the marketing. Like, if we acknowledge it, oh, because, of course, it got a little bit of a following. Like, people actually did some people did like the episode. If we acknowledge it, we took it down. We got in a lot of trouble. So we just cut it and then acted like it never existed. It's one of the only Black Mirror episodes we've ever taken down. The other one was the better stash one, but that's because the copyright issues, and everyone knows about that. Another episode's also gonna get cut, and everyone's gonna pretend like it doesn't exist anymore. But I can't say which one it's gonna be. You're just gonna have to find out, I guess. So I guess watch all the episodes now while you can.
