Back in early January 2022, when Netflix seemingly had no use for ads and subscriber growth still felt always inevitable, the company’s stock price hovered in the $500-per-share range. Sure, that was down from when it very briefly sniffed $700 three months earlier, but there was no need to panic.
Little did the public (and the media) know that the “Netflix Correction” — the streamer’s first ever loss of subscribers and projections to lose even more — was brewing.

It ended up losing 200,000 subs by the end of March. And then it lost nearly a million more by the end of June. Suddenly, those same Nflx shares were trading for $200.
Since then, the once-invincible streamer clawed back to prominence with the launch of an ad-supported tier,...

We all know people who think they’re tuned in but still have a way of raising high-minded objections to the popular culture they didn’t happen to grow up with. They’re the ones who said, back in the ’90s, that Howard Stern isn’t funny or Hip-hop isn’t music or How could anyone watch reality TV? It’s all fake! So if you gawk with bewilderment, and a touch of horrified awe, at the brave new world of social-media exhibitionists who preen and flounce through the brutally arresting documentary “The American Meme,” you may leave yourself open to the same accusation: that you have somehow failed to grasp the appeal of these people because, to put it simply, you’re too old.
Actually, though, there’s a key difference. “The American Meme” is a movie I very much recommend, since it’s both highly entertaining and an...

Paris Hilton is many things: hotel heiress, perfume mogul, DJ, recording artist, model, actress, fashion designer, former reality TV star, philanthropist and, most recently, fiancee to actor Chris Zylka. But above all, she is a pioneer — and, arguably, the original "influencer."
Hilton is the cynosure of director Bert Marcus' new documentary The American Meme, debuting at New York's Tribeca Film Festival on Friday. The film explores society's complex relationship with social media, with Hilton playing the role of den mother to today's crop of Internet celebrities, including "Queen of Vine" Brittany Furlan, Kirill Bichutsky ...
