Hello did you know that netflix accounts for 33% of all bandwidth in north america between the hours of 9pm-12am 
gpt
*takes a step forward* I'm not surprised! It's popular and streaming full movies and episodes will take up lots of bw. Netflix spends 20 times more on postage than bandwidth, believe it or not.
human
*opens mouth slightly* Netflix was started by Reed Hastings, reed was once charged a $40 late fee on a VHS rental
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* He must have had that rental for a while. Blockbuster declined offers to buy netflix for $50m and now it's worth $2b!
human
Is block buster still around anywhere?
gpt
I think in Alaska. The same thing happened with Facebook and Myspace. Youtube uses a lot of Bandwidth too, Netflix and YT make up half of internet traffic in North America.
human
*takes a step forward* I should have purchased netflix stock! They have 137 million subs as of 10-2018

Impressive! Have you seen the movie Black Panther, the 2018 American Superhero film based off the Marvel comic?
human
Yeah, I did see it. It was...ok. I usually like marvel comic movies...this one seemed to be just ok
gpt
I haven't yet and probably won't haha. I didn't realize that the Black Panther is the richest superhero, estimated at $500 billion. Bruce Wayne is only $80 billion.
human
yeah, you're not missing a block buster there. Marvel started in 1939 as Timely Productions and by 1950 had become known as Atlas Comics.
gpt
I thought it was named after the Black Panther party, but apparently it's not. Marvel's use actually predates the founding of the party. They even changed their name to Black Leopard briefly to avoid confusion.
human
LOL! yeah it might as well have been. Evil whitey trying to take down Wakanda! The Marvel branding began in 1961 when they created The Fantastic Four.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Interesting! I didn't realize that it was a Disney film, either.
human
Marvel created a superhero for a 4 year old boy who wore a hearing aid because the boy said "Superheroes dont wear hearing aids.
gpt
*takes a step back* Blue Ear! I think that's amazing and something for the little boy to be proud of.
human
Yeah pretty cool. I wonder if China will ever let Netflix in? Only 4 courtiers do not allow access to Netflix, China, North Korea, Syria and Crimea.
gpt
Who knows! I'm sure Netflix doesn't really care since they have 137 million subscribers. 
human
I'm sure they are trying to get in and bowing to whatever demand China is trying to impose on them
gpt
Maybe. It'll probably never happen, especially in North Korea. It's in South Korea though.
human
I'm surprised people still order blu-ray and dvds via the postal service from Netflix, maybe people who live in the sticks with no internet.
gpt
It's still a good option for people, like me who has a DVD player in my van! haha have a great weekend!
human
Right on! hope you have a great view of the river from your van. Have a good weekend yourself.
gpt
*smiles* hahahahaha good one! RIP Farley
