  i agree that everone needs to get paid, but we could say the same thing about an ad supported model, until its 6 hours ads for every hour of show “but what if”.

  In the end, they are making $5b of net profit (and $12.93b of gross profit), so their profit/liabilities is an extremely healthy 40%!). the increased profits isnt about paying people more, its about increasing their net profit for their shareholders.

  i… honestly don’t know what you mean? If 10 million people stream the crown tomorrow, every one of them is already paying for a membership, so i suggest you take the money from the monthly fee they already pay.

  Maybe Netflix brings home only $5b of profit… poor poor billionaires.

  yea, its not like Netflix made $33.7 billion U.S. dollars, with $5.5 billion of pure profit in 2023 alone…
