Now for the bad news. A year ago last quarter, they added 6.8 million subscribers worldwide. So even though many new cord cutters are still flocking to the popular streaming TV service. Just not at the numbers they have been seeing around this time in years past.

This may be due to other popular streaming services like Disney+, Apple TV+ and NBC Peacock all have come online since then, and they could be cutting themselves out a share of future Netflix worldwide subscriber numbers.

During the height of the pandemic, Netflix added a whopping 10.1 million subscribers in the second quarter of this year.

Netflix has not been without their share of controversy this summer. The show Cuties which exploits the sexualization of Young Children according to their detractors. Has caused a huge outcry on social media. With some Netflix members threatening to cancel their service, unless Netflix bans the show from their streaming TV subscription service.

So far Netflix has been unwilling to do so. Instead, acknowledging “‘Cuties’ is a social commentary against the sexualization of young children,” a Netflix spokesperson said in a statement to Variety. “It’s an award-winning film and a powerful story about the pressure young girls face on social media and from society more generally growing up — and we’d encourage anyone who cares about these important issues to watch the movie.”

But even with the Cuties show putting a damper on their subscribers numbers. Netflix is still adding more new customer accounts than they are losing.

Netflix also has many other films and TV shows that are adult rated and sexual in nature. These videos are not always easy to find. But if you use these hidden Netflix codes, finding them is much easier.
