This is a totally misinformed tweet. This is the problem with our Senior Advocates. They think they are experts on everything. A lot of the content on Hotstar is regional and they also broadcast the IPL and other sports. In contrast, there is no sports on Netflix and most of their content is international. In general, Netflix aims at an elite audience, which is barely 0.5% of the population. On the other hand, Hotstar aims for the masses. Another difference is that Disney has a huge portfolio of kids content. Also, there is a lot of piracy because Netflix subscriptions are expensive, unlike Hotstar. This is the real reason, nothing to do with woke versus non-woke.
However nothing much has changed about Hotstar and Netflix apart from the excessive woke content. This downward spiral of Netflix isn’t an Indian phenomenon but a global one.
While what AMS says could be debated but one cannot deny that platforms which promote excessive woke content are facing in terms of decline in subscribers be it Netflix or anyone platform.

People are rightly slamming it on social media. The global economy is in freefall and people are struggling, but now you shove these privileged nepo brats down our throats. Disgusting and insensitive!

Most of Netflix's content may be international but then again their collection is not as large as it is in US or Europe.
Shows and movies about lives of elites by casting star kids might have been attractive to people a decade ago but as it is now it just invokes resentment.
For broadcasters, their OTT platforms are just another place to earn more without incurring marginal costs. For Netflix, the OTT is the only place where they earn revenue. After Netflix demonstrated viability of OTT and with all major broadcasters starting their own OTT platforms, the marginal economics have turned against Netflix.
