Netflix’s just-released Q1 earnings report has lots of numbers in
it. Some of them are interesting and some of them boring, but just
one of them reflects on you and me in a way that is deeply
upsetting.
That number is “half a billion,” which is how many hours Netflix
users have spent streaming Adam Sandler movies of their own free
will between December 2015 and now. From Netflix’s letter:
“Since the launch of The Ridiculous 6, Netflix members have
spent more than half a billion hours enjoying the films of
Adam Sandler.”
If you view this number as an indicator of the tastes of the nearly
99 million people who have Netflix memberships, it sort of feels
like the end of reason. Nobody pays to see Sandler movies in
theaters anymore, and Netflix’s The Ridiculous 6 has a 0 percent on
Rotten Tomatoes.
But, if you view this number as an indicator that Netflix’s recent
four-movie deal with Adam Sandler was a solid investment for them,
one that will pay off literally, in the money-sense, then it is
great, uplifting, and encouraging. It just depends on how you look
at it.
Netflix, for its part, looks at it like this: “We continue to be
excited by our Sandler relationship and our members continue to be
thrilled with his films.”

The numbers say "tv was on" not "watched" much less "enjoyed"

It doesn't pay off unless people are joining The Netflix just to see
this crap.

Again, "tv was on" does not equal "viewers were thrilled"

My number is zero, so yours must be a billion.
