Netflix can’t implement three different changes to its business model and then cherry pick one of those changes as the reason for the increased revenue.
Bro it’s not a guessing game they release this information in thier quarterly financial statements…

Tackling account sharing between households has been another focus as it undermines our ability to invest to improve Netflix for our paying members and grow our business. In May, we expanded paid sharing to 100+ countries, which account for over 80% of our revenue.
The cancel reaction was low and while we’re still in the early stages of monetization, we’re seeing healthy conversion of borrower households into full paying Netflix memberships as well as the uptake of our extra member feature. We are revenue and paid membership positive vs. prior to the launch of paid sharing across every region in our latest launch
Cool, but that analogy doesn’t work with how companies are valued.
The only thing that matters to the stock market is growth. It doesn’t matter how you get there (most of the time), as long as you’re posting positive numbers and your outlook looks good.
Not me fam, the less I have to do, the better. Amazon shipments literally save me 2-3 hours a week from not having to go to the store.
Prime membership ftw!!!
But the thing is it actually did work, Netflix has seen a boost in revenue and the companies stock price.
A small house for 74,000? Lol, you’d need at least double that in the Northeast part of America.
in before, “but I need my enormous vehicle because once every 13 years I haul 3 2x4’s and am too dumb to use a roof rack or rent a truck for the day!”
I win!!!
My enormous eletric vehicle (plug-in Rav4) is powered from my home solar panel system, and I use it to transport my dogs to the park a couple of times a week.
I’m completely guilt free!!!😃

1·1 year agoThat didn’t stop people before cars. Back then people built small railways if we are talking about construction.
We wouldn’t be having this conversation if it weren’t for vehicles like mine keeping up the internet infrastructure up.
There’s also no fucking way you going to put train tracks everywhere to keep up infrastructure. That sounds really fucking stupid
They need specialized equipment. They need heavy equipment.
This statement makes me feel like I’m responding to a 14 yr old with no life experience. Not even going to bother answering it.
A car is a car. Another motor doesn’t turn car into magic.
Electric vehicles have no emissions so there’s no reason people can’t use them specifically for work.
PS: You can respond but I’m not going to bother with you. There’s no point in having a discussion with someone with illrational and militant about their ideals
Lol, do you even need it? The headline speaks volumes.🤣
Almost 1 in 3 Brits between 18 and 34 years old have received unwanted contact from delivery drivers or other workers asking them out on dates or for sex, the UK’s data watchdog has warned.
The survey of over 2,000 British adults carried out for the Information Commissioner’s Office found that, in total, 17% of people have had their personal information used for a romantic or sexual proposition after handing it over to a business.
That figure rises to 33% in London, where such incidents are most common.
“People have the right to order a pizza, or give their email for a receipt, or have shopping delivered, without then being asked for sex or a date a little while later,” said Emily Keaney, a deputy commissioner at the ICO.
“Our research today shows a disturbingly high number of people, particularly young people, are falling prey to these text pests,” she added.
In June, a female Etihad Airways passenger told The Guardian how she felt unsafe after a worker contracted by the airline found her phone number in the company system then sent her unsolicited text messages.
“There may be, amongst some, an outdated notion that to use someone’s personal details given to you in a business context to ask them out is romantic or charming,” Keaney said. “Put quite simply, it is not – it is against the law.”
A growing number of firms, particularly in delivery, transport, or logistics, rely on gig economy or contract workers. These workers are not entitled to the same employment rights as full-time workers, the jobs can be precarious and badly paid, and turnover is often high. One consequence is that sensitive customer information, such as phone numbers and addresses, is accessible to casual workers.
The ICO did not explicitly name any companies, but pointed to “major businesses” operating in food and parcel delivery.
Its survey found that two-thirds of the UK public believe it isn’t morally right to use personal details given for business purposes for romantic or sexual propositions.
The regulator said it’s cracking down on such occurrences, asking victims to come forward, and reaching out to companies to remind them of their data protection responsibilities.
If a company is found not to be following data-protection laws, it can be fined up to £17.5 million ($22.1 million) or 4% of its global turnover
I would totally love not to be in a traffic jam, especially while on the clock as I don’t get paid for the drive time to and from work.
Not everyone works in an office. Construction, trades, and utility works still need vehicles to work on and create infrastructure out and indoors.
You’ll also have tons of people in rural area like farmers and ranchers that still need vehicles.
That being said most of those vehicles will be electric soon. My company will be moving to electric starting in 3 years.
PS: I’m a utility worker, and we take our work vehicles home foe weather emergencies, so the transportation line is a little blurred for me
Ok I get now. I can definitely see both sides of the argument, and it’s not going to be easy to solve.
Copyright law needs to be updated to deal with all the new ways people and companies are using tech to access copyrighted material.
What the article is explaining is cliff notes or snippets of a story. Isn’t that allowed in some respect? People post notes from school books all the time, and those notes show up in Google searches as well.
I totally don’t know if I’m right, but doesn’t copyright infringement involve plagiarism like copying the whole book or writing a similar story that has elements of someone else’s work?
1·1 year agoThe only social media I’ve ever had is Reddit and Lemmy. Whenever I tell people that I don’t have the others they always say, “WhAt dO YoU hAvE tO HiDe,” as if I’m a criminal masterind poltting to take over the world or something 🙄
This saga won’t be over till Boomers are out political post on both sides. Boomer generation are known not to negotiate on any issue, even of it benefits them
