Summary

A recent report suggests that Netflix experienced a surge in cancellations following co-founder Reed Hastings' $7 million donation to Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign. This spike, which was particularly pronounced in the five days after Hastings' endorsement, coincided with calls from Trump supporters urging conservatives to cancel their subscriptions. However, it remains uncertain if this political donation significantly impacted Netflix's overall performance, with their next financial report scheduled for October.
