And just to give you an example, if the quarter was 48 hours longer, we would have come in slightly above our guidance forecast.”
“The state of the pandemic and its impact continues to make projections very uncertain, but as the world hopefully recovers in 2021, we would expect that our growth will revert back to levels similar to pre-COVID,” the company wrote in a letter to shareholders.
“Cuties,” which Netflix has defended as “social commentary against the sexualization of young children,” drew outrage from viewers and even lawmakers on Capitol Hill, such as Sen.
