I am not watching it either, but I will exploit their fuck-up to expose their lying, so their credibility is torn apart.
I am perplexed as to why you advocate so strongly for letting them slink off quietly to regroup for their next attempt.
I'm not watching it, never will

I'm less concerned about their transparent, superficial woke bullshit history of convenience for propped up, sacred cow minorities than I am about the fake history they have written for the rest of the world that is traditionally accepted as rote truth.
Somebody needs to send a military force to release the Vatican archives that hold the real history, that they assiduously hide.

Because I don't care and watch little to no video/TV/Movie content. My kids don't either. We have lives. Shit content and shit consumers will always exist. So as not to be hypocritical I used to smoke cigs. You'd agree that is stupid as shit, right? (I'm no smokes for 6 years now)
Just stop watching all of it. Complaining about it does nothing. People bitch about smokers and I was one, but still did it. Indoor smoking and 15' from the door didn't fucking matter to me. I didn't care what others thought, it was my vice. Until you realize that consumption of media is a vice, you're not going to understand reality. Cleopatra is a vice for some freaks. It's not going away. Keep your kids away from the shit and don't acknowledge it yourself. It will go away if it doesn't sell.
As a parent, at the end of day if you want to make change lead them, your kids. Screaming boycott does nothing long term. The show crashes and they'll make the next one. Or keep it going because you just gave it publicity. Just don't watch anything really. You don't need to. You're not going to stop morons from watching bad shows/movies. Never.

It's not going away. The propaganda tool will be kept alive even when nobody pays attention to it.
Nobody actually reads the NY Times, but it continues to exist. Who actually listens to the radio still? That still exists.

I was pretty disappointed to find out that lemmings do not jump off cliffs, but rather Disney drove them off a cliff just to make a movie that they could sell.

Everything filmed is made up. Even documentaries.

According to a 1983 investigation by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation producer Brian Vallee, the lemming scenes were faked. The lemmings supposedly committing mass suicide by leaping into the ocean were actually thrown off a cliff by the Disney filmmakers.

Radio is still active in cars, jobs, and on back patios. Radio would not have so many local advertisers if no one was listening.

I'd have to actually listen to a radio to find out what they are pushing. Commercial advertising is linked directly to social propaganda as well. You can see that with Budweiser. Remember, conglomerates own companies. Fox news and Dominion are both controlled by Blackrock - the suit wouldn't have gone forward if Blackrock didn't see it would be somehow advantageous to do it.
When I last watched television "news", I could see it was constant advertisements for drugs that they never explained were for "ask your doctor about Drug X", and also advertisements for companies the were involved with the MIC - GE, Boeing, etc. These are real advertisements, they are bribes.

News media won't go away, I agree. Entertainment will though if it doesn't make a profit. Even the lowest budget movie or show is minimum $50k/day during filming even with cheap actors.
The problem I have is by bitching about it publicly, all people do is draw attention to it. Maybe 1 in 10 people bite, like what is all this outrage about. Guess what, they're the freak and watch it habitually now because they heard people bitching about it. This is my opinion, but I personally think it's best to ignore this shit.
A vocal majority bitching about something a minority, loser, gay, outcast, etc. motivates them to keep watching shit. So they keep making shit. If the Bud Light thing bothers you don't drink it. Soooo many people are bitching about it publicly that don't even drink it. You're giving them free publicity. It's the same with Cleopatra.

I think there is more at work.
This shit is being sponsored by billionaires, it's not just woke twats doing it. When shows don't do this, they find ANY reason to cancel them, and they do. Tim Allen and Rosanne Bar are two examples.
Remember 40 years ago, and if there was nothing on television, people would just sit in front of the TV channel surfing until they got their fill of the swill? There are plenty of people who will still watch television even if "there's nothing good on".

We listen to radio all the time, home, work, and especially while we drive. We even listen to sports. Radio rules!
There will be radio as long as there is human beings. When the internet crashes, radio will still work. Most stations run on computers but many could be run manually in a pinch.

Why not watch the old stuff like "wagon train" or "tales of wells fargo"? Non woke, no joggers, hot women.

And yet, no matter how many failures and massive bundles lost, somebody keeps pumping fiat dollars into this DEI Lesbo Hollyweird Witch shit.
Open ended liquidity and debt forgiveness (or used for tax write offs). Now, who could that possibly be?

And the black one is cross-eyed. It's like they're trying to insult the viewers.
And the black one is cross-eyed. It's like they're trying to insult the viewers.
However, the show has done something I didn’t think was even possible. It has not just the lowest audience score in Netflix history, it has essentially the lowest audience score possible on Rotten Tomatoes, a 1%. Not a 10%, a 1%. (Update: It just ticked up to 2%. Still an unprecedented low)
There aren’t many critic reviews in, but those are low as well, with the show sitting at a 13%. But those audience scores? I’ve never seen anything like this. Not with bad shows. Not with politically controversial shows prone to review bombing. Never this bad, not in Netflix history. Honesty, I think not even in TV history, at least with this many reviews in (over a thousand).
I’ve previously written about series with low Netflix review scores. The last time I broached this topic was when Netflix’s now-cancelled Resident Evil adaptation scored a 22% with fans, one of the lowest I’d ever seen on the service. That was low compared to other high profile Netflix misses, Jupiter’s Legacy with 73%, Space Force with 77%, Haters Back Off with 76%, Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness with 39%. Fans usually rate things higher than critics, even bad shows, and the point being, a 1% audience score seems borderline mathematically impossible, even with the controversy the film has attracted.
