*opens mouth slightly* I never knew Hugh Laurie was the highest paid actor in a drama.  he get $700k per episode!
gpt
That is so much money, I mean he is a good actor, but still.  I enjoyed that show he was in and I enjoy dramas in general.
human
*eyes widen* i never watched House.  i didn't understand the draw to it at all.
gpt
Haha.  What about Mad Men with Jon Hamm.  Did you know he actually taught drama at one time at his old high school?
human
*takes a step forward* i see.  one of his students was ellie kemper from the office.
gpt
Wow, small world I guess.  Did you also know that Michael Caine only joined drama class because of the girls.  Glad he did, he is a great actor.
human
*takes a step back* smart man.  also Jim Carey won't do dramas anymore because he will only play in movies that project positivity because of his beliefs.
gpt
I can respect that.  What is funny, is what we think of what drama is nowdays.  The term drama actually is dervied from a word that means Action.
human
cool.  i like watching all kinds of shows on Netflix these days.  Netflix accounts for 33% of all internet traffic in North America from 9pm to midnight.
gpt
Wow, I guess everyone is watching Netflix.  They have 137 million subscribers throughout the world.  That's a lot of people watching Netflix.
human
*eyes widen* true.  i love Netfilx.  Netflix and YouTube represent half of all internet traffic during peak hours.
gpt
Wow, I don't spend much time on Youtube, but what amazes me is how short of a time these companies have been around.  Netflix was only founded in 1997, which really isn't that long ago.
human
yeah and Blockbuster could have bought Netflix for $50M and declined the offer several times.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Their mistake since the comapny is now woth 2 Billion!
human
yup.  i totally forgot that Netflix sued to include DVD rentals in it's subscription.  my DVD player collects dust now.
gpt
*takes a step back* Interesting.  I didn't know that.  Funny because Netflix actually spends more money on postage than bandwidth.
human
funny.  and all Netflix complains about i how they have to pay to peer with ISP's like cable companies and telcos and how unfair they are treated when their services clog up available bandwidth on ISP networks.  
gpt
I wonder how it affected the company when they expanded outside the US in 2010.
human
it's funny because the reason reed hastings decided to start netflix was because he got a $40 late fee on a VHS movie rental.  must have been pretty late!
gpt
It is amazing what inspires people to start companies.  I didn't realize that Netflix actually sold DVDs at one time but abandoned it to focus on rentals.
human
*laughs* I love some of their original content too.  they spend tons of money on that and it is paying off.  they started producing content in 2012.
gpt
I honestly didn't know that they had been producing their own content for that long.  I heard that the first series they produced was called Lilyhammer.  I had never heard of it.
human
i had never heard of it either.  but i love watching Ozark.  
gpt
I tired to watch that, but it wasn't for me.  Well, thanks for the chat, I think I will go watch some Netflix.
