I struggle to remember hardly anything memorable from Netflix, especially their movies, despite that amount of investment. K-Pop Demon Hunters, what else? The rest is mostly if not all slop. Even looking now at their top 10 most popular movies we have a generic Rock movie in second place

Is that all? Netflix generated $39 billion in revenue in 2024 - I would not doubt that on all the internal productions the accounts are renting the studio lot / cameras / crew / marketing / renting the netflix jet etc at premium rates from the parent company.

the mind boggles what those numbers could actually build (as in actual physical construction) and yet here we are with so much „entertainment“ options we can‘t decide what to watch.
