Are you saying that netflix doesn't pay AMC per stream?
- forrestthewoods 13y agoI'm saying that the number Netflix pays per stream is so small it might as well round down to zero. If just getting users to watch your show on Netflix was a great way to make money then everyone would be putting their new shows on Netflix. Almost no one does that. Instead everyone puts old seasons of their shows on Netflix in hopes that consumers will then watch the new season on subscription cable or buy the show direct off iTunes. Content holders effectively give away old content so they can sell new content. If they give away new content there is nothing left to sell.
- orbitur 13y agoThey're not avoiding Netflix only because it doesn't pay enough, they're avoiding it because the medium threatens pretty much everything about their current way of doing business. It's deeper than just money.
- jonny_eh 13y agoNetflix doesn't pay per stream. Netflix pays for content in "windows". e.g. Netflix pays $20M to show Seasons 1-5 of Breaking Bad for 1 year. That's why content appears and disappears all the time. It's the same how movie companies sell broadcast rights to HBO or other similar channels.
