Low Cash-Grab Risk

The sourced concerns are substantially offset by delivered value.

What counts as a cash grab?

Commercial extraction prioritized over meaningful consumer or creative value. Profit, popularity, adaptations, sequels, remakes, high budgets, and normal marketing do not count by themselves.

Why?

Available records show Love Is Blind (2019) is an independent romantic comedy drama directed by Monty Whitebloom and Andy Delaney, released November 2019 and distributed to streaming platforms such as Netflix, Prime Video and Apple TV. I found no reporting alleging predatory monetization, deceptive release practices, or bundled/paywall schemes specific to this film. Contemporary listings and reviews describe it as a modest indie release with recognizable cast members and festival/theatrical visibility rather than a studio-driven franchise exploitation.
