Smart decision I truly think Netflix worked with Warner Brothers just to get Paramount to raise the offer.. this is smart for Netflix to walk away. They also get $2.8 billion.

NFLX is going to spike tomorrow like crazy. Anyone that bought stock yesterday is about to make a nice chunk of change.

Looking forward to the email tonight from Netflix that’s like „never mind, we got way too excited, we’re fucking morons“ lmao.

If you want maximum damage, quit HBO (and Paramount+ if you have that) in the week leading up to the shareholder meeting on March 20. When they ask why you quit, say „other“ and put „Opposed to Paramount/WBD merger. Reducing market competition and increasing prices is a dealbreaker“
Still not giving them a cent. Goodbye all that WB stuff I’ll never watch anyway.

You know what, fuck it. Let Hollywood and media die a slow painful death with the right having to consume their shitty propaganda while advertisers bail. Good luck with that

Aomeone leaked earlier in the week that there was no way Trump was going to allow this to go the other way. And Republicans say they believe in free markets.

If you’re not dooming you’re not paying attention. This is so fucked. MAGA literally buying everything, one media outlet at a time. We’re so fucked.

This is just stupid on the business side. Paramount is loaded with debt after the Skydance acquisition, and so is WB’s. Now they are going to combine all this debt, plus the cost to acquire WB.
This „new“ company won’t last long, and Netflix will get the last laugh when they buy both WB and Paramount.
Edit: According to Bing, WB has 33 billion in debt, and Paramount has 15 billion in debt.

So the DOJ was going to block the Netflix deal so Larry Ellison and his gaggle of MAGA dipshits can swoop it and take over the deal, giving them the ability consolidate news and media to publish their fucked up worldwide? Did I get that right?

Wouldn’t Netflix completely destroy the filming industry if they won? Honest question

Paramount winning would LITERALLY create a monopoly

How bout we all just stop watching or paying for WB content then? Easy.

The free market is never free. Trump will be able to control just about all media now. I bet there was insane blackmail shit happening in the background

I wonder what they threatened Netfllix with? It seems to me the government is all to egear to add to the media oligopoly this is going to create.

The timing is interesting. Sarandos met with White House officials [just this afternoon](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/26/netflix-sarandos-trump-white-house-wbd-paramount.html) in support of a deal. He walked out of that meeting and walked away from the acquisition.
