Nice detective work in your post.

It’s disgusting how the progressive filth somehow always manages to corrupt and profit.

Obama & Netflix P4P
So I just pieced this together while in a debate on another forum with someone.

Check out this chain of events....



Nice work! You could spend a lifetime piecing this same BS together on 75% of the DC Swampers.

TERM LIMITS AND STRICT LOBBY REFORM IS ONLY A START!!!

I heard Slick go right to the BS line, "We were $9 million in debt when we left the White House" during that interview with NBC's Craig Melvin. I was hoping Melvin would fire back with,

"Can you tell us Mr. President how you amassed a fortune estimated to be around $250 million writing a book or two and giving Wall Street speeches?" And as a follow up ask him why he can't get those $500k per speech gigs anymore since Hilldawg got that azz smacked.

You're a loser, and everyone you know knows it and talks about it behind your back.

Especially your family.

Just sayin.

Pretty sure you went personal first, buddy.

I mean you completely avoided the content of the OP and went after me.

Textbook "struck a nerve" and caused you butthurt enough to lash out with an ad hominem.

In other words, you basically held up a sign that tells everyone you're a butthurt loser.

No sense trying to defend it or deflect either. There's nobody here to sell.

He dreamed of his father. Or, as some allege, Bill Ayers did and he reaped the rewards.

Netflix can stream all it wants, and it costs them the same amount of money as it costs you to post a message on Tigerdroppings.

So Netflix, that is worth a bajillion dollars can pass along its business costs to every man, woman and child in the US paying for their Internet service, regardless of whether the consumer is using Netflix’s services. Thus Netflix can also earn more bajillions in profits.


Your entire premise-or that of the OP who you pieced this together from-is inaccurate if not a total falsehood.

LINK /

This article clearly states that Netflix will pay Comcast between $25-50 million annually to start-with expectations it will balloon to upwards of $100,000,000 a year-in exchange for guaranteed bandwidth and a connection to Netflix’s network of Content Delivery Networks (CDN’s) which Netflix created to help deliver its catalog of streaming content through cable companies. Placing them inside many cable company bandwidth architecture...and paying them for the privilege.

LINK

This link discusses the over 4,600+ servers and/or unique CDN’s Netflix has installed at various cross points or within cable company bandwidth networks worldwide. There is no CDN installed within a cable company’s bandwidth system-like Comcast or Verizon-that Netflix isn’t paying millions of dollars for dedicated access to.

I’m not saying the Bahamas ambassadorship deal, or the metadata monetization or the Susan Rice Board appointment or even the BHO development deals aren’t shady. There’s obviously some quid pro quo that appears to have gone on.

But even a basic, rudimentary, 5 minute Google search and skim would’ve proven that the premise that BHO allows Netflix to screw ISP’s over by passing all costs to them for network and bandwidth access is just totally inaccurate.

My OP said nothing and has nothing to do with Net Neutrality.

I explained how Netflix themselves lobbied for the VPPA Amendment and why.

So you need to correct your contradiction.

Did you see the part where I quoted a poster-who was not you-and responded to him specifically? Yeah...evidently not.

A basic, rudimentary google search revealed that Netflix had over $11billion in revenue in 2017. Assuming a $25Million cable bill (citing your stat) that’s quite a margin. Or even if it had increased to $100 Million by last year.

Neither Netflix nor Comcast needs th government’s help. Obama should have stayed out of it. But he didn’t - because there’s something in it for him.

I question whether Netflix’s increased bargaining power to negotiate such a stellar margin on a $25m expense would have been available if Obama hadn’t chosen sides and told the big mean cable company it couldn’t discriminate against poor helpless Netflix. My skepticism is raised further considering the TV deal was granted rather close in time to him leaving office.

To be more direct, since you called me a liar. I don’t feel sorry for internet service providers and I don’t feel sorry for Netflix or Amazon either. They are all big boys and girls. I would say that these bastards have fairly equal bargaining power in negotiating contracts with their vendors, like Comcast. I’m also saying that receiving a $25 Million deal from Netflix could be considered somewhat sufficient motivation for a guy making $450k per year to tip the scales in favor of Netflix and then sugar coat the deal by calling it something warm and fuzzy like “net neutrality.” Ultimately hiding this level of corruption by giving it a a pretty label is Obama’s MO. See for example: ObamaCare sold to stupid people by that professor, DREAMERS, the horseshite fed the media on the Iran Deal, and word salads like “Undocumented Citizens”, and “gender fluid.”

Consumers need protection. Sometimes. I haVe to pay what my cable Co charges
Me for Internet service or I
Don’t get internet.

Netflix has $11 billion to spend on protection lobbyists and lawyers to negotiate their cable bill. So thus, there are billions of reasons why I believe net neutrality is anything but neutral.

That rat bastard communist chose sides. And he was motivated to do so. shite. Netflix donated half its cable bill to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. I’m sure that was altruistically motivated to by a defenseless victim in need of protection from discrimination by Comcast.

This massive amount of bloviation has about 1.8% to do with my response to you. Which is to say that you are factually incorrect about Netflix being able to screw ISP’s and/or stick it to their consumer base.

It’s humorous you took the initial number of $25 million and held onto it while talking about their revenue increasing. Obviously this would mean more subscribers which means more streaming which means more CDN’s and more direct payments paid for and paid to ISP’s as a results.

Which means the payment amount goes up exponentially in relation to their increase in revenues. Which is-literally-mentioned in the first link, undercutting your wild arse-and completely conjecture fueled-assertions about negotiating margins, etc.

Which leaves a rational thinker to wonder whether you lack the attention span to read for 30 seconds...or that you literally didn’t, thinking nobody would realize you’re still ignoring easily sourced and readily available data to double down on a false narrative?

Also humorous is you ignoring the fact that I agreed with your basic premise on several key points and merely wanted to point out that there’s no need to make shite up-or willingly believe whatever is posted on a message board-when it’s pitifully simple to verify whether the assertions being parroted are rooted in any semblance of lucid reality, which they obviously are not.

In short, you can do better. So do better. Don’t just reply with an alter (assuming you screwed up with the wrong account intitially disagreeing with me; otherwise there’s two of you interneting poorly this evening) or double down by blathering about a bunch of shite, daisychaining and weaving immigration, Iran/foreign policy, and gender identity politics into your inane, banality-infused response...99% of which is no real response to me and the factual information I presented to you at all.
