There is no way they can compete with the big boys in terms of content creation. They pioneered a great service but once everyone else can join in there's no reason to have netflix specifically. |

Date: July 16th, 2018 5:26 PM Author: Heady bull headed really tough guy And they have to borrow billions in order to do it. From last year:
"Netflix’s long-term debt and other obligations totalled $21.9 billion (U.S.) as of Sept. 30, up from $16.8 billion at the same time last year. That includes $17 billion for video programming during the next five years, up from $14.4 billion a year ago.
The Los Gatos, Calif., company has to borrow to pay for most of its programming expenses because it doesn’t generate enough cash on its own. Netflix burned through another $465 million in the most recent quarter, which is known as “negative cash flow” in accounting parlance.
For all of this year, Netflix has warned that its negative cash flow might be as high as $2.5 billion, a trend that management expects will continue for at least the next several years as its service tries to diversify its video library to appeal to the divergent tastes in about 190 countries." |

Date: July 16th, 2018 5:40 PM Author: Poppy kitty cat "my point was that Obama has some kind of guiding role"
Please provide some sort of evidence to assume his content deal = a guiding/advisory role for Netflix.
Alternatively, you could just say "I incorrectly asserted that I though Obama served on the Netflix Board of Directors". |
|
Date: July 16th, 2018 5:41 PM Author: Sepia Disturbing Nursing Home Philosopher-king “which very well may be the case.”
We need to know the value of his payout. If indeed he’s receiving tens of millions of dollars, that’s the proof, because when any employee/affiliate is making all that money from you, when they speak, you listen. |

$100 million? $300 million?
We need to know the answer. If it turns out that he’s the highest paid contributor (as I suspect given his profile and Netflix’s secrecy), absolutely he gets to tell them what to do. |

|
Date: July 16th, 2018 5:56 PM Author: Sepia Disturbing Nursing Home Philosopher-king Here, I’ve already said that Obama isn’t on the Board, but since material facts are being withheld that could indicate he has a guiding role in the company, the main point of the poast (Obama driving a company into the ground) may well turn out to be correct.
Plus, his crony Susan Rice is on the board, further buttressing the main point that has you in a tizzy.

|
Date: July 16th, 2018 6:01 PM Author: Poppy kitty cat is it actually true that Obama has a "guiding role" or do you just *think* that's the case? Do you have any evidence that his content deal (which is 100% definitely not the largest deal Netflix has and similar in size to dozens of other individuals/production companies) actually gives him any influence over the day-to-day operations of Netflix other than the fact that you really don't like him?

|
Date: July 16th, 2018 6:02 PM Author: Sepia Disturbing Nursing Home Philosopher-king Yes, the mere fact that Rice was put on the Board demonstrates Obama’s influence. She was put there because he demanded it, not because she has any talent in such companies.
Did Chapelle and the others successfully demand to get their friends put on the Board? I rest my case. |

|
Date: July 16th, 2018 6:11 PM Author: Sepia Disturbing Nursing Home Philosopher-king Oh, I know so. Here, since you’re at a loss for words, I’ll link you to her relevant experience that demonstrates Obama played no part in her landing on the Board of a tech company:
She turned the heads of top administrators when she created a fund that withheld alumni donations until the university either stopped their investments in companies doing business in South Africa, or the country ended apartheid.
After receiving her bachelor's degree in history in 1986, Susan Rice went on to attend University of Oxford in Oxfordshire, England. Here, she earned her M.Phil and D.Phil in international relations, and wrote a dissertation that examined Rhodesia's transition from white rule. Her paper won the Royal Commonwealth Society's Walter Frewen Lord Prize for outstanding research in the field of Commonwealth History, as well as the Chatham House-British International Studies Association Prize for the most distinguished doctoral dissertation in the United Kingdom in the field of International Relations.
. . . .
Rice began work as the director of international organizations and peacekeeping for the NSC, where she had what she calls her "most searing experience" when she visited Rwanda during what was later classified as a genocide. "I saw hundreds, if not thousands, of decomposing corpses outside and inside a church," she said. "It was the most horrible thing I've ever seen. It makes you mad. It makes you determined. It makes you know that even if you're the last lone voice and you believe you're right, it is worth every bit of energy you can throw into it." She took the lessons learned from her peacekeeping position to a new post as special assistant to the president and senior director for African affairs in 1995.

Date: July 16th, 2018 6:17 PM Author: Poppy kitty cat You're point was that Rice would have never been appointed to the board if it weren't for Obama because of her qualifications. I just linked to an example of person also without any prior business experience getting multiple board seats. If you weren't a naïve 23 year old you would know that you can get these seats without a former POTUS exercising some sort of influence.

Date: July 16th, 2018 6:23 PM Author: Poppy kitty cat So wait you're saying that the leverage Obama has over Netflix to force Netflix to appoint some puppet board member (that has almost zero practical influence or power) to carry out Obama's nefarious deeds is that THEY'RE paying HIM?

|
Date: July 16th, 2018 6:26 PM Author: Sepia Disturbing Nursing Home Philosopher-king As a condition for getting his name and rep, doing that deal, yes.
Your position is that she got in on her own, with absolutely no relevant experience. And, despite having “zero practical influence or power” over the company, this massive transaction occurred within two months, and the two have NOTHING to do with the other.
Tell me, are you naive enough to actually believe that? |
|
Date: July 16th, 2018 6:30 PM Author: Poppy kitty cat I'd say it's pretty realistic to believe that Netflix would whore itself it out to former cabinet members in the same manner that corporations have been doing for decades and that Netflix would have done the deal with Obama regardless of whether Rice was director.

Look at the 3 month chart. $NFLX ran up nearly 25% in two months, had a small put back, and then ran up again in the past 2 weeks to today's earnings. That's a 25% on a $300+ stock. Let me guess, Fox Business and CNBC were pumping this shit up for weeks before earnings, right?
How much debt does $NFLX have? That's the real story. Our (((friends))) here know best. |
