Wow, Netflix is deleting Spacey completely (pizzagate)

submitted ago by ReddittRefugee

Netflix "gets" how radioactive Kevin Spacey has become, even if some other entertainment companies are burying their heads in the sand and trying to defend the guy, or at least minimize what he did.

First, Netflix leaked info that they were considering killing off Spacey's character in their House of Cards TV series.

Then they announced they were suspending production of House of Cards and reviewing the series's future with the production company.

Now they've completely fired Spacey. They've told Media Rights Capital that House of Cards won't be continued if it includes Spacey, and they've suspended postproduction of Spacey's recent movie Gore, and will not distribute it, whether it gets finished by other means or not.

Spacey is gone. He's been kicked out of Netflix.

As ineffectual as it sounds, when the news broke, I downvoted everything spacey on Netflix. It worked. :-)

Good thing to do, actually.

Netflix is different from older media distributors in that they are much closer to the consumer, and they can get much more direct feedback online. They do pay attention to feedback like up- and down-votes.

The real feedback they pay attention to, though, is views of movies. If viewing numbers for old Spacey movies start plummeting, they'll get deleted from Nexflix's catalog.

Yes, Netflix more likely to respond faster. In fact, they already have. In general, not to me personally.
