Then in 2009 he bought bitcoin, and he was a great man. Greater than Hwang Dong-hyuk, who made very little.

if you bought bitcoin in 2009 the odds that you still had access it in 2013 let alone today are very very small

really wish we had more corvée systems so that journalists had to spend part of their time every harvest picking vegetables for a month if only to spare us from such lovely takes

quote:The budget for the show was $21.4 million, but they expect to make $891 million in "impact value." That metric describes the perceived amount of new subscribers that the show will convince to join the streaming service, effectively earning back 40 times what they spent on the series. magic, and/or guesswork

Flesh Forge posted:yeah if you're any sort of wage earner then basically none of your transactions are "voluntary". they don't necessarily teach you a lot of useful stuff in Poli Sci, but they come out and say "the basis of our society is the state's monopoly on violence." like people who think social workers aren't violent have never dealt with one. they don't seem to acknowledge this. and so people think that transferring poor and minority kids en masse to foster homes run by people who aspire to be middle class is somehow something they could just do if there wasn't the threat of violence behind it. nah, social workers are cops, and while child abuse is real, it no more justifies social work as it actually is than murders justify cops and prisons. also the higher ups keep getting outed as pedos for some reason. in canada, the roots of this are all explicitly religious if you look at the history of how they were created. they're actually missionaries and the cops crusaders. except people sometimes listened to missionaries voluntarily at first. e: the biggest joke is they all read Foucault here in school, but he's too obscurationist I guess for the lesson that they're the problem and continuing to train to be social workers is literally signing up to carry water for the problems they want to solve by being social workers to hit home.

Centrist Committee posted:how does a show on Netflix “generate revenue” anyway either by getting new people to sign up or by getting current subscribers to not unsubscribe aside from the capitalist need to constantly expand, Netflix doesn't really need to generate new revenue. as of July it had 209 million subscribers, which means it's raking in, I dunno, like $2 billion a month just for existing and maintaining its content library. when you hear "squid game cost $25 million to make" it sounds like a lot until you realize netflix makes that amount of money in subscription income in something like 9 hours. same for something like "netflix spent $500 million to buy the rights to Seinfeld", like yeah that's a ton of money but also it's one week of revenue for Netflix and if that's what makes 2% of their current existing customer base decide not to cancel their subscription this month then they turn a profit on that deal

This is not the point but how has Squid Game created $900m in value? Netflix shows are free to subscribers, how can they possibly quantify subs gained or retained due to specific shows?

HootTheOwl posted:but even so, unless netflix got 900 million in new subscribers then squid game didn't create that much value. That said, how they measure seems does seem real dodgy if just watching a little bit counts the same as watching a whole episode. Of course how you treat that data after matters a lot too. If they differentiated properly based on whether people actually completed an episode/season/show, you could probably do some pretty solid statistics on the group that watched Squid Game and determine how many would've been expected to unsubscribe vs. how many actually did, and then count the difference as increased revenue. The issue with that it is that the baseline includes new shows being added and people not unsubscribing due to that, which means what you've determined (statistically to a high degree of certainty) is performance over the average, rather than actual performance. A detail you could use to justify a wide variety of retention metrics, from the somewhat sensible and conservative "baseline based on peak unsubscribe period" to "Literally just fantasy to make your boss's bosses seem like big geniuses who should give him a raise".

I remember reading that Netflix internally emphasizes getting new signups over maintaining existing ones because it’s hard to measure why people stay anyway and growth looks better even if there’s turnover. the idea is they’d rather gain two subscribers and lose one than gain one and lose zero because they can say they gained more new subscribers. eventually I suppose everyone possibly reachable will have been reached and they’ll have to branch out into human cloning in order to maintain constant growth in their subscriber base

It seems more that they're trying to appeal to investors by saying we just had a show that generated 900 million dollars

The religious man answered yes... The chief then said without further thought that he did not want to go there but to hell so as not to be where they were and where he would not see such cruel people.

gradenko_2000 posted:"you still get to go to heaven as long as you seek forgiveness at the bottom of the ninth" isn't really a Catholic thing. That guy isn't even fuckin' saved, much less sainted. our pop understanding of christianity kind of sucks. like one thing we don't get is that selling your soul to the devil for magic power is a minor offense outside of inquisition style poo poo. you can get out of that prettymuch anytime by repenting, especially if you're like faust and no one is actually hurt and you just use it to learn. but to repent anything, you need to sincerely be willing to give up whatever you got out of sinning. this is a huge plot point in hamlet. so once it's all been taken from you, you gotta keep in mind that god's supposed to listen to the voices of the dead condemning one and you have to convince that dude your repentance is sincere enough to meet the demands of your crimes against what, seven million innocent people? humans aren't fit to say someone's repentance is sincere enough under those circumstances. it's safer to assume no, that guy's in hell. (this is inference but i think god lets you keep knowledge and certainly share it because it benefits humanity even if it was told to you by a demon. this makes sense in the context of the development of science and the hopeful but somewhat ambivalent reaction to it).
