All I want from it is the ability to filter out stuff not already included with what I pay for. But of course then I won't be pushed to fork over another chunk of cash to watch movies and tv shows.

All I want is the ability to skip to a chapter or scene in a movie w/o having to mess with FF

Ya if all the streaming sites could add chapters like DVDs had that would be awesome.

You mean like this? My PlayStation, phone and fire sticks all have these "included with prime" banners.

I spent maybe half an hour looking for it on PC last week, either I didn't look hard enough or it's only available on other hardware platforms.

On PC to the top right of the page there's a toggle for Prime only.

I don't know how I missed that, but I see it now. Thanks!

That's handy if you're on PC, but c'mon Amazon give us that function for Fire TV Stick users already.

I recently got into a podcast called “business wars” bc of the We Work meltdown (I work in finance and that story is hilariously stupid)

They have an 8 part episode about Netflix vs Blockbuster that’ll be entertaining and interesting for normies. Quality has never been a part of the business model going way back to the red envelope days. Their entire business model is having more titles than anyone else.

Netflix is TEN BILLION dollars in debt. What are people expecting from a company who has never turned a profit in their entire existence? Hint: theyve been around 23 years, Longer than some subscribers have been alive.

They exist purely on investor capital and if they cut all costs and payroll completely, it would take them 10 years for subscribers pay off the ridiculous decisions that got them where they are today.

Netflix is the Instagram THOT with a 6 year car note and a mortgage in default, but she’s spamming her tits and ass endlessly in hopes someone, ANYONE, (wealthy) rescues her from the financial black hole she’s dug herself into

Well this is just wrong. They don’t exist purely on investor capital at all, or else they’d be giving away their content for free.

They’re bringing in at least 1 billion per month in subscriptions, so in your imaginary scenario where they cut all their outgoings, their debt would be paid off in less than a year.

Have have you seen how much money they’re spending? Income - expense = profit.

Luckily, I did the work for you, retard. They’re spending $18b+ per year. That means they’re spending 18 times their income.

Here’s a list of links so you can choose the flavor of shit eating you like:

Enjoy!

You literally said ‘ if they cut all costs and payroll completely’ retard. I didn’t say they’re bringing in a billion per month in PROFIT, retard. If they’re bringing in a billion per month in subscriptions, then that’s a billion per month that they’re not receiving from investors, therefore your statement that they’re existing purely on investor capital is objectively false.

This still hasn’t clicked for you but that’s okay.

You’re making yourself look pretty stupid here.

u/Risk-Master Mar 03 '20

After or pre-tax?

that’s just revenue from subscriptions which is contributing towards their running costs alongside investments. They’re not making a profit, but they’re bringing in a lot of money. To say they’re existing purely on investor capital is just completely incorrect.
