      Because fuck Netflix, nobody believes for a minute they’re not profitable and couldn’t afford to pay writers and actors.

      I didn’t realize people can’t do a 10 second google search on their own. 🙄

      Net income isn’t the whole story anyways, especially when this article points out that one of their costs is lobbying for a cause that isn’t necessary. They’re raking in billions of dollars every year.

        You specifically chose to quote a sentence about profit and then provide a number that is not profit. What was the point of commenting at all if the number you provided had no relevance?

          My quote:

          streamers are currently being forced to reckon with their profitability — or lack thereof.

          profitability

          Your misinformed quote:

          You specifically chose to quote a sentence about profit

          profit

          There’s a very important difference there that I think you’re not built to understand.

            I’m not a shill as far as I know. What if I agree with them that it would have made more sense to mention profit #? Do I instantly become a “shill” too? If so, where can I get my check?
