“Making money on the back of comedians” implies that comedians are somehow being exploited or taken advantage of. The actual accusation from the article is: “But Jamie Masada, the Laugh Factory’s owner, has a different perspective on Netflix’s growing library of stand-up comedy specials. Seeing the digital giant as a bit of a comedy vulture—essentially swooping in to sign comics after they’ve built huge followings on YouTube, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook—Masada said Netflix is more about making big bucks than boosting careers, because it ignores comedians who lack social media followings.” Apparently, Netflix recruits popular comics rather than unknown comics. The gall.
