Netflix, the streaming service that started it all, seems to be in trouble. According to the Wall Street Journal, Netflix shares dropped 35% (I don't know about stocks but I assume that's bad) as a result of subscribers dropping off. (Here's the full report: https://www.wsj.com/articles/netflix-stock-price-plunges-premarket-after-subscriber-loss-11650449002?mod=hp_lead_pos1.
I gotta say, Netflix isn't what it used to be, and for everything I get sucked into (hello, Tinder Swindler), I wind up leaving when I'm done and spending a significant amount of time over on HBOMax or Hulu. I don't think it helps that there's been huge lag times between their popular shows like Stranger Things, Ozark and Russian Doll (the latter of which I didn't even realize was back until a friend asked me if I started Season 2!)
But, even with all its flaws (losing The Office and Friends certainly didn't help) there's still gotta be something of an attachment to Netflix for most people, right? It was the OG, after all. Or is it just keeping it out of habit at this point? So, are Netflix's days numbered? What do you think?
Anna Shay is a fascinating person to me. I don't fully understand why she's on the show, why she's hanging out with all these young people, or why she whispers, and or/why she films a TV show but seemingly hates being on camera. All I know about her is that she's rich, and I think that's maybe the answer to all of my questions.
I am also fascinated by Anna's friend, Maria. Her full name is Maria Jose Lainez, and she seems to be Anna's truest BFF. Like, that woman is ALWAYS at her house. Like an anxiety dog, but human, perhaps? IDK...
I decided though that I wanted to learn more about Maria! Here's what I found:
- Her and Anna do everything together? At least it seems like that. Dare you to poke around Maria's IG and find more than 5 photos without Anna. https://www.instagram.com/mariaa.lainezz/
- She has at least one daughter! Which can be seen here... with Anna: https://www.instagram.com/p/Can444RpGPX/
- Her and Anna jetset together! But of course they do, because they're always together: https://www.instagram.com/p/CbqMdWfvgut/ and here https://www.instagram.com/p/CVLBgMGFmRG/
With all this said, I hope when I'm Anna's age, my BFF has just moved into my home and we just Lucy and Ethel our way into the sunset! Seems ideal!
