  1. I support boycotts but it’s less powerful when you cancel & you still have access until the next billing date.

  2. Honestly a Netflix boycott would be a net gain for the entertainment industry. The monopolization of creativity has been the death of culture. May this racist’s downfall be the catalyst for change.

  3. They didn’t pull any of Dave Chapelle’s specials and they probably won’t pull this guys either.

    When people boycotted the no sharing rule, Netflix reported an increase in subscriptions.

  4. Netflix subscribers will tolerate anything, especially the most exploitative and vile true crime. So I don’t think they’ll boycott over this. 

  5. I appreciate comedians who offend. Keep pushing the boundaries. I’m tired of this can’t say anything culture. If it’s a joke, laugh at it. If you didn’t find it funny, find something else to watch. Enough people don’t find it funny, no one watches, it goes away.

  6. Feels like the last Netflix standup specials haven been real garbage

    They used to have Bill Burr, Nate Bargatze, Dave Attell, Marc Maron… then recently all these specials have been really bad

  7. Really? That’s what makes people want to boycott Netflix?

  8. I’ve boycotted them since their prices reached $20+ a month with barely anything to show for it.

  9. Netflix’s content is extremely easy to steal, just saying

  10. The majority of Netflix viewers don’t even know who Tony Hinchcliffe is.

  11. Politics aside, this guy just genuinely isn’t a great standup comedian. I saw him live along with a few others a couple months ago and like 70% of his set was just bitching about getting cancelled.

  12. I would have cancelled my subscription if I hadn’t already done so 2 years ago. Definitely won’t be renewing after this.

  13. Guy who books the comedians at Netflix for specials is clearly right wing. They seem to go out of their way to find and book the right wing comedians.

  16. At least they removed one of the best episodes of Community that made fun of morons who use blackface! /s

  20. He also was featured on one of the first episodes of Monday Night Raw on Netflix

  21. Cancelled netflix after the US tarrifs. Fuck America and its greed.

  22. Give him a special so he can perform the jokes he heard from other people in between bits about him getting cancelled or whatever

  27. Woah watch out, apparently it’s illegal now to boycott in America lmao

  28. Hey guys, fuck this little brat. Hated him since Rogan started giving him opportunities back in the day, he’s still mind bogglingly unfunny today. Torrenting is so easy. If you quit Netflix, I support illegally downloading their shows. Join me. Don’t torrent his special though, it’s a waste of your download cap
