An Open Letter to Netflix: Don’t Confuse Familiarity With Loyalty Dear Netflix, You’ve been around long enough to feel like part of the furniture. For many South Africans, you were the first streaming service that made sense, the one that changed how evenings looked and weekends felt. You became a habit before you became a brand, and for a long time, that worked in your favour. But familiarity is a fragile thing.

Streaming loyalty isn’t forced, it’s chosen. South Africans notice when value slips and flexibility disappears, and we leave quietly when it no longer makes sense.

An Open Letter to Temu: Let’s Be Honest for a Moment Dear Temu, When you arrived in South Africa, most of us were genuinely curious. New platforms always bring a sense of possibility, especially in a country where people are constantly looking for better value and more choice. But curiosity only lasts when it’s met with honesty. When it isn’t, it turns into something else entirely. Right now, what many South Africans feel about you isn’t anger.

Sometimes it’s not the prices that push people away, it’s the noise, the half-promises, and the feeling of being rushed. South Africans don’t need convincing tricks. We just need honesty and space to choose.
