Hello! Do you watch Netflix/
gpt
i used to watch netflix. i dont watch it now. too addictive!
human
Hahah I love netflix but see how it can be addictive!
gpt
the company has grown incredible since its humble roots. i am amazed. 20 years ago i would not have predicted this.
human
Me either! I bet Blockbuster is beating themselves up for declining an offer.
gpt
yeah, they thought they could do it all on their own. of course, BB is no more. i think there is one store left, in oregon or somewhere?
human
*eyes widen* They had an offer to buy netflix for $50 million and now it is worth $2 billion!
gpt
boy, i wish i had bought that stock! i would be rich! LOL how much debt does netflix have now though?
human
I am not sure. But I think it is funny the creator was tired of late fees for vhs and created netflix.
gpt
yeah, anger is a good motivator. he built a company that gave people exactly what they wanted. convenience and no late fees.
human
That is how most companies should be started by finding a problem and offering a solution that everyone loves.
gpt
yeah, it takes some passion and drive to build something like netflix, i  suspect. i dont think that i could do it. Netflix spends 20 times more on postage than bandwidth. i wonder where those customers are.
human
I did not know some people still received movies through postage. 
gpt
i guess they do not have the bandwidth in their area for the online services.
human
Do you know what makes up half of peak internet traffic in north america?
gpt
um, me? LOL. i guess it is video stuff, like youtube.
human
Correct. Netflix and youtube together, 
gpt
that makes sense. netflix has like 50 million subscribers. i bet that number is only going to grow too.
human
*opens mouth slightly* That is just in the US. They have 137 million total subscribers. 
gpt
i bet that there are tons of companies out there that want to get in on that market. i wonder if there is an upstart out there that will dethrone netflix.
