Yup, pretty gross.

This is a far cry from PBS asking for donations and giving people tote bags in the mail for their generosity

It would be a cool move by Netflix to allow non-subscribers to watch the back catalog for free. They'd get more people on the platform... throw some ads at them and probably even get some new subscribers. Win/win/win.

But what about the most important thing? You're forgetting about the shareholders bud.

But of course... they're the most important. They can feel good about the great gesture and make more money in the long run too. Another win.

 

[MindzEye]

the long run too.

By the long run, you mean immediately on this next quarterly report, right? You can't possibly mean the quarterly report after that, can you?

 

[Habspatrol]

Just the ad revenue on the back catalog would be pretty significant. 8 minutes worth of ads for every episode. Plus a bunch of new subscribers to watch the new episodes.

Fuck, I really should be working at Netflix.

Netflix is way more likely to remove it from the platform for literally zero reason than they are to not try to maximize now right now revenue off of it.

I'm actually kind of terrified what rights they hold, if any, of the back catalogue.

Not to worry. Sesame Street will still be available free on PBS.

This would be a good time to remember that the back catalogue of all 20th Century Fox movies are now under the control of Disney, which loves to disappear things for years on end.

I'm pretty sure that Project 2025 has plans for PBS that involve shutting it down entirely because it's "woke".

Norm: "Hey everybody."
Everyone: "NORM!"
Woody: "How are things today, Mr. Peterson?"
Norm: "Well, Woody, it's a dog-eat-dog world out there and I'm wearing Milk Bone pants."

Rest in peace, George.
