Netflix Comes With A New and Exciting Change: Details Here

Although it is not exactly a “great reset,” a series of events results in a substantial shift for the world’s largest streaming service. Partly as a result of confronting more capable streaming rivals than ever, the firm is preparing an ad-supported tier and laying off personnel.
