You&#x27;re making the tenuous argument that time spent watching has any correlation with monetary value.<p>Netflix has its own problems, besides. Chief among those, the predatory licensing agreements causing entire swathes of content to vanish overnight, or the fact that those agreements are often local to the USA, causing people in other countries to get a vastly reduced&#x2F;different catalog of content.<p>If the movie industry wanted to serve their customers instead of screw them, they&#x27;d get their lawyers together and release their own Popcorn Time. Literally all the movies, $XX&#x2F;month, no heavy infrastructure required beyond P2P, no worries about your favorites disappearing randomly some day.<p>..But they will never do that, because to do so would cause them to admit those evil pirates had the right idea, and cause the false valuation of their content to evaporate.
