It's entirely related to private enterprise.
Boycotting is a valid economical measure.
The reasons behind a boycott however, should be subject to scrutiny. Boycotting a streaming service because they are paying a politician you don't like for shows you aren't being forced to watch, comes across as a little petty. There are plenty of shows on Netflix that don't involve Obama.
My point was they want people to say only things they approve of. If you want to niggle the fines, have fun with that.
That still has nothing to do with the 1st amendment. Unless they are trying to pass legislation to prevent Netflix from hiring / airing certain shows, it’s not a freedom of speech issue.
