Hi, how are you? Do you use Netflix?
gpt
Yes I use Netflix almost everyday. Did yujiro Netflix put on commercials during the Super Bowl in order to get people to watch Netflix afterwards?
human
That seems like the thing to do now. Netflix is insanely popular. People want to watch all the time.
gpt
*takes a step back* Yep and I think the ad was worth it, even though it cost Netflix about 10 million dollars to make
human
Yes, it draws people to their site. Then their stock goes up. I figure the SB is one of the best times and places to advertise.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Yep absolutely. I'm just shocked that Netflix started streaming back in 2007, that seems like a long time ago
human
It does. Their stock was really low before then. They still spend money on postage now.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Yes their stock is worth a lot more now, but they are also racking up a lot of debt, they had 22 billion dollars in debt back in 2017
human
That is a lot of debt. I guess they are counting on their market. They have quite a few subscribers right now.
gpt
*takes a step back* Do you know how many they have? I just know that they have about a hundred thirty original series at this point, which is a large amount in my opinion
human
I wonder how many are actually that good. I heard something about ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. I wonder if it is true.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Yes they have a lot of movies that are highly ranked in Rotten Tomatoes, you can easily stream them too, apparently streaming is 20 times cheaper than actually shipping a DVD
human
I wonder who ranks those films. Netflix employees? The postage is steep, but I guess that there are customers in areas with low bandwidth.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Yes I'm sure some people still prefer getting DVDs in the mail actually. I bet that the creator of Netflix would have preferred that as well, he got charged a $40 late fee for Apollo 13 once
human
Yes, BB really screwed up there. They made an enemy, then turned down the chance to buy Netflix.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Yep they had the chance to buy Netflix for 50 million and now Netflix is worth 2 billion dollars, talk about a blunder
human
I wish I had bought stock back in the day. I could use the money. From 9pm to 12am, netflix accounts for 33% of all bandwidth in north america. That's just money flowing.
gpt
*eyes widen* Yep that's a lot of traffic! And it gets even crazier if you include YouTube, YouTube and Netflix together take up half of Internet bandwidth
human
It's insane. We are all glued to our screens. Entertainment is our drug. Anyway, great chat!
gpt
Yes thank you you too, and check out Star Wars, I can't believe James Earl Jones was only paid $8,000 for the voice of Darth Vader in the first movie
human
He must have made money on the backend. I think he must be quite rich. Thanks again! Have a good day!
gpt
Yep I hope you made a lot of money! And I hope that Marcia Lucas also made a lot of money she had a lot of good input in the first movie
