Netflix to open branded retail stores for some reason::Netflix has decided to open a number of brick-and-mortar locations to sell items based on hit shows, offer dining and provide live events. There’s also going to be an obstacle course based on ‘Squid Game.’

I cannot imagine a customer base that's so ecstatic with Netflix's service that they're willing to give the company even more money by buying overpriced ultra-processed meals and branded coffee cups. Why people continue to sell their souls and open their wallets to these companies is beyond me.
Never met consumer whores? Not that I can talk, smack a pokemon on just about anything and I want to buy it.
That said, I don’t think Netflix has that cachet. Maybe they’ll have a section where you can vote on what show gets abruptly cancelled next!
I'm not sure that makes you a whore... more of a slut...
And how!
If they sell cosplay customes based on popular shows, you know people will be queuing up to throw money at those made-in-china products.
Having the rights to ship out the offical crap could be a gold mine for them.
Just take Squid Game. It's a regular training suit and they already exist as costumes and they're easy to copy, but you can't find the real one because of all the copies.
Same idea as the Universal Studios parks. Just without the park, because the income is all in the souvenir shop anyway.
During the holidays I saw lots of teenagers (and a couple adults) with stranger things, casa de papel, squid games and Wednesday merch.
Sell their souls? 😂 you live in a completely different world than most people. hsrdly anyone views it that way, they view it as paying $18/month or whatever it is now
