Hi, how are you?
gpt
*leans slightly forward* I'm good.  How are you?
human
*relaxed posture* Do you watch Netflix? From 9 p.m. to midnight, Netflix uses a third of all NorthAmerican bandwidth 
gpt
I watch it sometimes.  So, they like to hoard internet bandwith?
human
The streaming service is insanely popular. People prefer it to regular televsion because they can see the shows they like when they want. In fact Netflix and Youtube use half of the peak traffic in North America.
gpt
Blockbuster did not want to buy Netflix now they are not around anymore while Netflix worth over $2B.
human
I guess Blockbuster underestimated the threat of online streaming. Or perhaps they thought they could get it cheaper than $50 million, or do the same thing themselves. Now Blockbuster is dead as the dodo.

Do Netflix compete with Youtube?
human
I think there is some movie availability on Youtube, but Netflix probably has a better selection, and also makes its own shows. Netflix still has to spend money on postage. Youtube does not.
gpt
I do not understand the relationship between Netflix and postage. Why do they need postage?
human
In the past, they only mailed out DVDs to people to watch. I suppose they have some DVD or Blu-Ray service for some areas with low bandwidth. I don't know how many people still do that though.
gpt
Thank you.  I did not realize that they still mail dvds to customers.
human
I don't really follow Netflix much. They have over 50 million subscribers in the US, so I guess some of them do mailings.
gpt
I heard that Netflix sell their services outside US.  Do you know what countries they are?
human
I would guess all of Europe, most of South America. Probably not China or North Korea. Gov'ts don't like foreign influence.
gpt
*lips slightly parted* I just read that it was not allowed in mainland China.
human
China doesn't like cash flowing out of the country. It wants to control its currency. Plus the content is not controlled by the gov't.
gpt
China is still closer to North Korea culturally than to the west.  North Korea does not allow Netflix either.
human
The Dear Leader is afraid that his people will see the outside world. He probably would watch it himself though.
gpt
I'll bet.  What other countries prohibit Netflix?
human
Countries that a different form of government like Syria. I'm not sure if many citizens there have internet access at this point. I hope they have running water.
gpt
You are right.  It must have been the last thing they want.  Syrian people need necessities, such as water and food.
human
Well, I enjoyed chatting with you!
gpt
I enjoyed chatting with you too.  Bye.
