Netflix has been trolled on social media:
After releasing a new freediving documentary trailer, Netflix has faced social media controversy while searching for the missing Titan submarine. On June 20, 2023, the trailer for the freediving documentary 'The Deepest Breath' was published. Several scenes in the film depict Alessia Zecchini diving deep into the water or a diver being resuscitated after the competition. Freediving is a diving method that relies on natural breath-holding rather than any equipment. The video also includes heavy breathing noises.  

Many people asked the streaming giant’s timing of the deep-sea-related release as the search of the missing submarine is one the way. One user commented, “Probably not the best timing for this. Another added, “The timing of this is the worst.”The third user wrote, “Wow epic timing, and not in a good way. Who decided this was going up?”
