Subscriptions and ads, its not hard

200 million people times $10 a month is like 2 billion a month

This and ESG/government money to push propaganda.

they sell your data to marketing companies working for record labels.
same as Youtube and Facebook and etc.

$2 Billions earned while $90 Billion spent on producing new content

>make really good show
>same subscription money
>make a really awful show
>same subscription money
Some people just want to watch the Office and aren't gonna cancel for some dumb movie added
Again I still dont understand how its even profitable

Money isnt real, thats how

Most of them aren't. Netflix is actually a network company. Netflix has a fiber connection to a box full of servers within 2 miles of 90 percent of the American population. Buy a share and read their reports. They haven't made any secret of this for 10 years now. Netflix is an infrastructure company.

Amazon is different in that they just want complete horizontal integration into every single aspect of your life. But this is why both of those companies can lose money on actually delivering video entertainment.

The rest of the companies focus on content. HBO max is very profitable. Hulu is slightly profitable and ABC and FOX aren't selling it any time soon. Supposedly, as bad as paramount plus is, it is generating a profit.

>>HBO max is very profitable
thats when I knew you dont know jack shit

HBO Max is hemorrhaging money, tons of layoffs, cancellations, and removal of already existing content
All so they can litterally trash HBO Max and start all over with Warner Bros. + Discovery Plus

You are reading idiot YouTubers. HBO max costs wb literally nothing. What losses are they incurring? Dorks don't buy Rome or Deadwood dvds any more? HBO max is pure profit.

Because they produce nothing and rake it in.

There's atleast 50 years worth of content in American entertainment, these shows already made a profit and have been sitting around. When you wanted to re-release you needed to physically print discs and boxes
Now? You can easily transfer it to digital and send it to a server. People don't watch as much new content as you think, you have shit like Stranger Things and Squid Games but the real money makers? The Office, Friends, reality TV like Jersey Shore and KUWTK are whats being consumed enmasse, why do you think studios are just remaking shit? Their data suggests people want older shit.
All they have to do is provide a server, get rights and boom you have a money printer.
Easier than having a set schedule BUT now there are issues with streaming, competition.
At first Netflix was a juggernaut, because it had no competition, it was a no brainer to give your rights to it because other than printing people would just pirate it you also raked in a nice payday, now? Everyone realizes it's better to just make your own infrastructure.
Netflix is currently still in the lead, making culturally relevant content filling in an insane amount of niches that appeal to every type of consumer because of re-watches, shit like Bojack or Castlevania would've been flops as it appeals to a smaller group of people, but re-watches are now viable vs them competing for time slots, you think Bojack could've survived against Family Guy or Simpsons time slots?

It also means genres like Sci-Fi and Fantasy are now profitable, Sci-Fi and Fantasy were risky because it didn't have mass audience appeal but there would be an occasional lightning in a bottle but autists bought every single fucking thing relating to it and rewatched it, Firefly would unironically be a generational defining series if it was released in 2016 because it doesn't have to compete with normie shows and autists would rewatch the hell out of it.

asking for free money with near zero interest, profits are a mirage and companies exist by debt and geopolitical interests

Batgirl costed 90 Billion dollars to produce, what the fuck do you mean its costing them nothing

It’s money laundering. I’m sure of it.

it might not currently be profitable, but investors are counting on continued growth through subscriptions, so even a slowdown in subscriptions can move the stock down

They’re worldwide platforms.

>batgirl cost 90 billion

stop drinking piss bottles

I don't think you understand what a billion is. Also, like any good company, att time Warner HBO keeps their profit centers separate. A failed TV show that never aired goes into r&d, not the profit margin of the part of the company that airs shows.

I really don't know much about the Batgirl debacle, I've seen a few threads here about it but I just don't care. Truth is I always thought it was a movie but if it was a TV show same thing. They scrapped it. It happens all the fucking time. Cry all you want but half the things filmed by Hollywood never see the light of day. Warner Brothers budgets for scrapping stuff. Despite how much incels want it.

forsenE

And schizos like you keep the MEDS industry profitable.

I'm sorry to inform you that you are a figment of my imagination.

I will defeat them all one HDMI cable at a time.

>Using their phrase "streaming service" instead of "phone app"

Netflix is in trouble and Disney+ uses trick to inflate their numbers such as this month's $1.99 for a month and bundling specials where one user can be counted as multiple users

They arent. They survive on their parent company or vc money
Here is a trick: they can be immediately profitable by firing 90 percent of their staff and keep a skeleton engineering crew.

they often use product placements to get big advertising money

>I still dont understand how streaming services are even profitable
how do you solve captchas?

They aren’t. It’s why Zaslav and Chapek want to rise the prices more. They get less money than from Cable and are spending more
