  • While I fully agree Netflix is gouging customers.

    This chart doesn’t tell the whole story, and is pretty misleading.

    When Netflix started it was getting great content CHEAP. Content owners were just happy to get extra licensing money. Then online streaming exploded, and content owners started asking insane unsupportable fees. Or just refusing to lease, and start their own service. That’s why Netflix is becoming a producer.

    Not trying to defend anybody. Just pointing out out the danger of only looking at one metric and not the whole picture…




  • You sweet summer child, Bill Gates has ALWAYS been a sociopath interested in only money and power.

    His retirement and donating all his money to “charity” was only a smoke screen to preserve his wealth. He created his own charity (this is wealth preservation tactic used by ultra rich). And while it does some good, it’s main purpose is to preserve his horde and whitewash his past so he’s remembered as a good guy.
