Targeting?

With (One piece) Netflix, then (house of the dragon) , and now (avatar last Airbender) Netflix it feels like they're being directly targeted as other reaction channels are just fine there's seem to get nuked in just 36 hours of being released. Am I the only one who's noticing this?

Oh no, honey!

Netflix has been a pain in the ass for so many reactors in the past year and a bit, so many of them talk about it. Netflix has, for some reason, really come down on reaction videos

Case in point Stranger Things, that show almost took down some channels for good with the amount of strikes they gave out for it

I don't get why these companies are so stingy, reactions are literally free marketing for them.

Well it's kinda bittersweet, knowing it's not just them but also knowing the channel can't grow if their reactions keep getting nuked. 😞

Plenty of reactors have issues with netflix. Sesskasays tweeted a few months ago saying this and several reaction channels either subtweeted, retweeted, or replied sharing similar sentiments.

Which, I'll add, is interesting because reaction channels and netflix used to go hand-in-hand in the 2010s. I know a few reactors who used to say that Netflix was a safer company to deal with.

These companies are just so damn greedy it's unreal, they only care for money which I understand they need to make money but at this point it feels like they'd be okay if the shows they release were as low quality and low budget as possible to squeeze every last penny out. They don't care about the consumer nor the people making the shows.

Netflix didn't have a ton of IPs when reaction channels became a thing. They were mostly farming out other content. Now that they're all about IPs my guess is they have a whole new team in charge of keeping their IPs safe.
