Netflix to open branded retail stores for some reason::Netflix has decided to open a number of brick-and-mortar locations to sell items based on hit shows, offer dining and provide live events. There’s also going to be an obstacle course based on ‘Squid Game.’

    I cannot imagine a customer base that’s so ecstatic with Netflix’s service that they’re willing to give the company even more money by buying overpriced ultra-processed meals and branded coffee cups. Why people continue to sell their souls and open their wallets to these companies is beyond me.

      Never met consumer whores? Not that I can talk, smack a pokemon on just about anything and I want to buy it.

      That said, I don’t think Netflix has that cachet. Maybe they’ll have a section where you can vote on what show gets abruptly cancelled next!

          And there’s nothing wrong with being a Pokeslut. When a hunky Pokemon trainer throws their balls my way, I’m always up for a little Squirtle in my Caterpie.

      During the holidays I saw lots of teenagers (and a couple adults) with stranger things, casa de papel, squid games and Wednesday merch.

      Who runs the Stranger Things experience? I bet it’s them under a different name or maybe sold the rights? Regardless of who owns it, it was super popular here in Seattle.

      Sell their souls? 😂 you live in a completely different world than most people. hsrdly anyone views it that way, they view it as paying $18/month or whatever it is now
