Why Netflix Fans are Fuming Over #NetflixCancels
Netflix lovers are in an uproar, and it's all about #NetflixCancels. The streaming giant's habit of axing fan-favorite shows has sparked a social media storm, leaving subscribers feeling betrayed and frustrated.
This isn’t the first time streaming platforms have faced the wrath of their viewers. Just a few months back, Max faced a similar fate, with #DontStreamOnMax causing a stir and leading to a temporary boycott.
Now, it's Netflix's turn to face the music. Known for its abrupt cancellations (they pulled the plug on a whopping 18 original series in 2020 alone), users have reached their breaking point.
So, what's the deal with #NetflixCancels, and why is it causing such a stir?
#NetflixCancels is a trending hashtag on Twitter, urging users to boycott Netflix and shed light on the platform's canceled TV shows. While the exact origin of the hashtag remains a mystery, the @CancelNetflix account seems to be spearheading the movement, with the hashtag garnering around 14.8k posts at the latest count. The hashtag gained significant traction on September 16, turning into a top trend on the platform.

According to @CancelNetflix, the hashtag likely emerged from the passionate fandoms of shows that fell victim to Netflix's cancellation spree. Series like Warrior Nun, Dead Boy Detectives, and Lockwood & Co. have all been casualties, fueling the flames of discontent among viewers.
But it's not just these shows that have fans up in arms. The cancellation of beloved series like The OA, Shadow and Bone, Fate Winx Saga, and others has left many feeling disillusioned and betrayed.
