📑 Netflix denies "spoon-feeding" plots

The joke’s premise: platform bosses allegedly ask creators to constantly repeat the plot in dialogue so that viewers glued to their phones don’t lose the thread.

Netflix film head Dan Lin hurried to refute the rumor at a recent presentation.

"We have no such policy. We laughed at the joke, but in our films and shows, no one repeats the plot on a loop," he stated.

Bela Bajaria backed him, calling such assumptions “insulting to creators.”

Matt Damon had previously mentioned this supposed Netflix request while promoting thriller The Rip. According to him, streamers demand action in the first five minutes and plot recaps in dialogue for “phone-scrolling” viewers.

Netflix leadership insists, however, that audiences are too smart for such a simplistic approach, and top executives actually often ask writers to cut excess exposition.
