Netflix in April announced a loss of 200,000 subscribers in Q1, its first quarterly loss in a decade. The company pinned the loss on a combination of inflation, competition from rival streaming services and its withdrawal from the Russian market. Netflix warned it could lose an additional two million subscribers in the second quarter. Year to date, Netflix stock has shed more than 68 percent of its value. Shares are currently trading hands at $189.82, down from $597.37 at the beginning of 2022. Netflix in its latest earnings call said it was open to the possibility of adding an ad-supported tier, and just over a week later the company canned most of the staff running its fan site. On the bright side, the first part of season four of hit series Stranger Things is set to drop later this month. Volume two will arrive five weeks later on July 1.
