  "account": "Netflix has reported a 12% increase in revenue to $12.9 billion and a 44% rise in profit to $3.7 billion for the July-September quarter. However, the company's stock fell 5% in after-hours trading as investors were disappointed by the stagnation in the number of hours users spend on the platform. Netflix has lost 45% of its value over the past year and has faced criticism for producing too much mediocre content. The company has appointed a new \"content\" chief, Peter Rice, a Disney veteran, to oversee its $20 billion budget for original productions and produce new hits to rival the success of \"Stranger Things\".",
  "summary": "The streaming giant is significantly increasing its profit and revenue, but not the number of hours its users spend on the platform. A new \"content\" chief is now supposed to provide new hits on the scale of \"Stranger Things\" and lure them back.",

    "Netflix reports strong revenue and profit growth, but subscriber numbers are stagnating.",
    "Content chief Peter Rice aims to generate new hits like Stranger Things and re-engage viewers.",
    "Netflix laid off 1,000 employees, including content chief Bela Bajaria, amid investor concerns."
