Trump and his thugs lose more often than they win in court, way more. It's only when checks and balances to oversee situations arise that they get away with breaking the law, since they're the overseers. Whether it's withholding funds from colleges or deporting people after judge's orders. If an outside party is the overseer there's not much underhanded shyt they can do, which is why they lose. Not to mention fukking with a Netflix is a different than school research relying on kickbacks and immigrants. Still, I'm interested to see what provisions Netflix gives up to make the thugs happy or if they're ready to go court. A few weeks ago reports said they didn't want the fight, we'll see

And idk if Max is a top 3 streamer. Maybe in operations, size, etc but there was a chart for potential viewers for either 2025 or for most recent years and Max was in the bottom quarter of the list. More than a few platforms outranked Max even with mlb & hockey. It's still the #1 absorbing another in the field so that'll always get looks and maybe if it was 2018 Max it'd be red flags, Max in 25/26 isn't a strong platform and this is more for the library than taking a "competitor" out
