Well she is on our minds. Think of a memorial service...we get together and reminisce about the departed. This is similar. Doubtful anybody here was friends with her, but watching her performances is a nice way to think about her and collectively share her work with the 10s of thousands of other people doing the same.
Death is a part of life. Netflix has helped us by making remembering her easier. Maybe her estate will even make a little money off the renewed interest in her. That's not the worst thing in the world for her to get to give her loved ones one last financial boost on her way out.
I honestly don't see a single thing wrong with this. I think your heart is in the right place but this is manufactured (mini) outrage. It's a giant nothing at worst and in the interests of her fans, colleagues, memory and estate at best.
