After Matt Damon accused Netflix of deliberately simplifying the plot of its film and TV shows for viewers – and Conan O’Brien kept the conversation going with a joke at the Oscar 2026 – the executives of the streamer have finally clapped back.
At a press event on Wednesday, chairman Dan Lin laughed off the suggestion, saying, “There's no such principle.” (via Deadline)
Lin added, "If you watch our movies or shows, we don't repeat our plot, so I don't know where that came from. We are focused on making great movies.”

Netflix’s Chief Content Officer also weighed in, calling the claims “offensive” to filmmakers and creators. “It's so offensive to creators and filmmakers to think that we would give them a bad note like that and they would just take it.”
She continued: “I think, you know, haters gotta hate, and people have got to make things up.”
Back in January, while promoting his film The Rip, Damon addressed the idea of intentionally dumbing down films to cater to casual viewers.
Speaking on Joe Rogan’s podcast, he explained, “The standard way to make an action movie, we learnt [years ago], is you usually have three set pieces. One in the first act, one in the second, one in the third. You spend most of your money on that one in the third act. That’s your finale.”
He added, “And now [Netflix] are like, ‘Can we get a big one in the first five minutes? We want people to stay.”
Ever since then, the discussion about such a strategic shift has gained momentum, with both fans and industry figures weighing in on the debate.
