   Just days after a nature documentary hosted by former president   
   Barack Obama launched on Netflix, the streaming company is in   
   shambles, with its shares in freefall.   
      
   On April 13, Netflix released all five episodes of its   
   documentary series Our Great National Parks, produced and   
   narrated by Obama. While culture critics in the liberal media   
   received the series warmly—even as one admitted, "I can't say   
   that I learned a tremendous amount"—investors were less   
   convinced.   
      
   In a stunning show of pessimism in the company's situation,   
   Netflix's stock imploded on Tuesday, plunging 37 percent by   
   Wednesday morning. The collapse was driven by Netflix's Tuesday   
   announcement that it lost subscribers last quarter for the first   
   time in more than a decade. The service is scrambling to remedy   
   its poor subscriber numbers, announcing last month that it plans   
   to start charging customers for sharing their accounts with   
   others.   
      
   The company's decline is a reflection of the failure of its   
   costly partnership with the former president. Netflix in 2018   
   entered into a multi-year agreement with Obama and his wife   
   Michelle to produce films and series. It's unclear exactly how   
   much cash the company burned to hire the Obamas, but considering   
   that Netflix paid the creator of Glee $300 million for a five-   
   year deal, the amount was likely exorbitant.   
      
   Through that deal, the Obamas brought to Netflix a documentary   
   called American Factory, about an Ohio auto factory bought out   
   by a Chinese state-backed company. While the film purported to   
   shed light on a clash of cultures and the struggles of the   
   American working class, it instead served as "a platform for   
   Communist oligarchs to propagandize."   
      
   If Communist propaganda wasn't unpalatable enough for viewers,   
   the Obamas are reportedly working to bring to Netflix a kids   
   show called Listen to Your Vegetables & Eat Your Parents, a   
   revival of Michelle Obama's failed crusade to get kids to eat   
   healthier.   
      
   In Barack Obama's latest series, he takes viewers on a tour of   
   the planet's greatest national parks and their wildlife, from   
   the sea otters of California's Monterey Bay to the lions of his   
   native country, on Kenya's Yatta Plateau.   
      
   Some critics of Netflix argue that the company's programming   
   across the board, not just the content the Obamas brought to the   
   site, is to blame for the company's hemorrhaging of subscribers.   
   Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Tuesday that the "woke mind virus" has   
   made Netflix "unwatchable."   
      
   That critique is borne out by Netflix's release this week of   
   He's Expecting, a Japanese film about a "successful cisgender   
   man" forced "to confront social inequities he'd never considered   
   before" when he becomes pregnant.
