Are you a fan of Netflix?
gpt
I am, are you?
human
*leans slightly forward* I'm a big time user of it! lol
gpt
That's pretty typical. What do you watch on it?
human
*smiles* I love bing watching tv series especially in the winter.  Currently I'm in the middle of arrested development.  From 9 PM to 12 AM Netflix accounts for 33% of all bandwidth in North America.  I'm part of that 33%!  lol
gpt
That's a great show. I would love to be paid to be one of their taggers.
human
I know right?  Sign me up.  lol  Netflix and youtube together make up half of the peak internet traffic in North America.  So that means basically half the people that are online are watching videos.  lol
gpt
People watch a lot of tv! There was just an article on the news app today about the last blockbuster. Ha!
human
*eyes brighten* I saw that!  I wonder if that's where Reed Hastings (the guy who started netflix) racked up a $40 late fee on a copy of Apollo 13 and that inspired him to start up Netflix.
gpt
I am not sure, but if you're hastings, wouldn't you buy that out of spite and turn it into a museum?
human
Hahah That would be funny!
gpt
He could show all 150 movies with a 100% rating on rotten tomatoes.
human
*eyes brighten* lol nice.  I'm surprised that Netflix still spends 20 times more on postage than on bandwidth.  More specifically I'm surprised that many people are still renting dvds through the mail.
gpt
I was schocked with that too. I had no idea they monitored illegal downloads as a decision making device.
human
I had no idea of that either!  Jumping back to Blockbuster....they declined several offers to buy Netflix for $50 million and now Netflix is worth $2 billion.  Oooops!  Wonder how Blockbuster feels about that now?  lol
gpt
Do you mean how that one store feels? How can they miss the boat on that trend so badly? Do you remember them trying to catch up with their own mail order service?
human
*smiles* I do remember that.  lol  Netflix has 137 million worldwide subscribers.  They are racking in the cash.
gpt
Did you know sharks are ticklish? Who would go up to a shark and tickle it?
human
*leans slightly forward* lol Not me!  I would be in that sharks belly before I could get close enough to tickle it!
gpt
WOuld you jump into a tuna pen and wrestle with one?
