People are cancelling Netflix subscriptions for several reasons, including a political backlash against co-founder Reed Hastings' $7 million donation to a super PAC supporting Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, which has led many Republican subscribers to view the company as endorsing her views and prompting a social media movement to #CancelNetflix [1][20]. 

Additionally, Netflix faces intense competition from other streaming services, which is affecting its market position [21]. Rising subscription costs, now at $15.49 for the standard plan, have deterred customers, especially as they adapt to post-pandemic life and prioritize budgeting due to a high cost of living [21]. Furthermore, viewers express dissatisfaction with the variety of content, feeling inundated with offerings that do not align with their preferences, which complicates subscriber retention [21]. Overall, these factors have contributed to significant subscriber losses, marking the biggest decline in the company's history [21].
