Costanza in a cowboy hat treated us to a gaggle of lies recently and he kicked it off with some false history, which is his favorite kind of ‘history’ to blabber about:
“Blockbuster died, Netflix raised prices. That’s what monopolies do.”
Wrong.
Blockbuster filed for bankruptcy in 2010. Hey AI – list for me all the Netflix price hikes!
They waited four years until 2014 to hike prices. If they are a monopoly, they are a very stupid one.
But they AREN’T a monopoly. Clayton should know this because I’m SURE he subscribes to one of the many OTHER competitors out there. I know I do.
Just like with his tractor falsehoods, he thinks that an industry with over a dozen competitors is somehow a “monopoly.” That’s because he is a very stupid boy.
You’ll notice that Netflix ALSO raised prices in 2022, 2023 and 2025 – DESPITE having intense competition from many other streamers. Which ALSO wrecks Clayton’s retarded theory and smug assertions of monopoly action. There they are raising prices despite cutthroat competition from many other players.
Oh, and up until recently, Netflix was pretty lax about password sharing and sponging off of the subscriptions of friends and family members. Hardy the actions of a “monopoly” that is out to bend you over and screw you.
Finally, I’ll bet you a HUNDRED DOLLARS that Clayton himself sponges off mom and dad’s household Netflix subscription because he lives in their upstairs bedroom at age 35 and is not gainfully employed.
