Netflix and others look for power in numbers.

    Then why only mention revenue?

      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.

        “just Google it, bro” is never a source.

          Not my fault you aren’t capable of typing 4 words into a search engine.

          It’s not a ‘source’, bud.

              Did you know profitability =! Net income?

                Yes. Did you know that “just Google it, bro” isn’t a source?

                  Positing a claim =! positing a source. That’s 0/2.

                    You can’t count, either? That’s rough, buddy.

        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?

              There is no definitive profitability number. Do you remember how the quote said profitability, and not profit? Companies scale their costs based on revenue. https://ycharts.com/companies/NFLX/stock_buyback

              Seethe, shills.
