I'm talking about hiring. I believe this project had positive ROI for Netflix (where I used to work) because of how it helped bring attention to Netflix's ML problems. Maybe you disagree with this, totally fine. My comment about Coca-Cola was to draw the analogy that just because they don't have trouble hiring (which you mentioned) doesn't mean it can't be helped.

Ah, that makes sense. I was thinking you were comparing to general advertising and the impact on drinker/user base. If you saw a measured rise in hiring, I will trust you on that. My assertion here is largely on the trajectory that Netflix seemed to already have and how there is no clear "inflection point" in any of their numbers post this contest that I have been presented with. And probably more cynicism than makes sense for how little impact ML seems to have on any choices that Netflix seems to show.
