Netflix saw highest day of cancellations this year after co-founder's $7M donation to Harris campaign

Netflix saw a dramatic spike in cancelations after its co-founder Reed Hastings revealed he donated $7 million to Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign, according to a report.

Cancelations on the streaming platform almost tripled in the United States after Hastings made the massive donation to a super PAC supporting Harris' presidential bid, Bloomberg reported, citing the researcher Antenna. 

Supporters of former President Trump called on conservatives to cancel their subscriptions after Hastings endorsed Harris on X and revealed the large sum of his donation in July.

That same month, Netflix customers reportedly canceled their subscriptions at a higher rate than any month since February 2024, Bloomberg reported.
