netflix really has the sub 100 IQ audience wrapped up

moomoo11•2h ago
I think it’s great. The sub 100 IQ population is the most dangerous.

They need to be programmed so they don’t ruin things for the rest of society that enables them.

It’s tough but I think gig economy and keeping them in check with Netflix and easily accessible entertainment is super important.

I wish metaverse was successful so we could just have those people locked away literally.

tropicalfruit•2h ago
i totally agree.

better for them to be binging netflix or delivering my food than blasting music and having barbeques at 2am
