No Flix Zone... Netflix added an Oscar-worthy 10M new paid subscribers last quarter, crushing the 8.2M expected. But shares fell 10% Thursday because investors are already thinking 3 months ahead (since you're already on Season 2 of Dead to Me). Netflix expects new subscriber growth to majorly slow this quarter to just 2.5M new subs. BTW: Netflix's current Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos will join Reed Hastings as co-CEO in a leading role.
Kim K, Joe Biden, and Apple walk into... a bitcoin scam. Twitter suffered a major hack when accounts from Obama to Bezos started tweeting out requests for crypto payment. Twitter took the unprecedented step of blocking tweets from all verified users (aka blue checkmarks) to stop the damage. Despite the relatively harmless tweets (could've caused 1000X more havoc), the Twitter trust is bruised. The world is now questioning the security of the platform at the heart of market-moving breaking news. Just in time for the 2020 election.
