Too Long; Didn't Read
Netflix documentary features a super-team of user-crusaders blowing the whistle on the psychologically manipulative underbelly squeezing the Google and Facebook profit rag for nearly $200 billion annually. Netflix (which uses a monthly subscription model) is devoting prime online real estate to promote “The Social Dilemma” to 73 million US subscribers. The documentary paints the broad problem space on a canvas of easy-to-grasp analogy and concrete metaphor. It is no crime to earn a profit, but it is the pursuit of short-term profit without regard for user well-being.
