Sort of surprised it doesn't work sort of like Spotify, residuals based on performance. So unused content gets nothing, but also being cheap to have it available.
- shagie 2y agoSpotify works under a royalties for musical performers - not residuals. Netflix (and all other streamers and broadcasts) work under a residuals system. Two different groups of content producers (musicians and actors) negotiated different models for how the long tail of licensing the content they helped create worked. Some of the economics of residuals changed with the contract that was negotiated last year with SAG.
