Netflix, over the past few years, has quickly become a necessity in arguably every visual consumer's life, with many even opting to use the streaming service in lieu of cable television.

As with many series that are made available on the platform, there is a set shelf-life before it's removed for good. Friends, the widely popular 1994-released series, had recently reached that fate, but Netflix has reportedly made the executive decision to pay millions for it to remain on its roster.

This past weekend, some Netflix users noticed a precautionary message on the Friends page, stating: "Availability Until 1/1/19."

After seeing the note, many took to Twitter to complain about the platform performing standard procedure by removing the show from its lineup, as it has done with countless others.

Well, it appears as the show's fate is no longer sealed, after all, as the New York Times is reporting that Netflix will pay around a whopping $100 million for the rights to continue streaming the sitcom through the end of 2019. This staggering amount differs immensely from the $30 million that the service previously paid.

While Friends fans appear pleased to learn that their favorite show isn't being removed from the platform, others — particularly, Black Twitter — are bothered to see them spend such a hefty amount on one program after canceling several others— many of which boasted Black leads — due to high production costs.
