I’ve Blogged About This Kind Of Arithmetic Before and Now I’m Gonna Do It Again

In this Internet Age it is easy to make A Lot More Money. Netflix just made A Lot More Money. They raised their Monthly Subscription Rate by $1 a month.

Did I just hear you say to your Computer/Smartphone/Tablet/Whatever, “Fella, $1 ain’t a lot of money. $1 is only a dollar. It’s not even $2. It is hardly more than nothing”.

My Dear Readers, you think I am being Silly because you have not remembered to take into consideration the number of subscribers Netflix flicks to each day/month/year.

As of the 4th Quarter of 2020 Netflix has 203,670,000 Subscribers. (I am always amazed that when such numbers are reported they always come out to exact figures)...

Ø Netflix just increased gross revenue by $203,670,000 A Month.

Ø Actually I know the increase is going to be $203,669,999 Per Month because 1 guy out in Missouri (where the stubborn people live) is going to say, “That’s it! They have gone too far! I refuse to be bullied like this! I’m not going to pay it! I quit!

Ø Netflix will pay him no never mind because, the day after he quit, they will pick up 1,289 New Subscribers for an increase in revenue of $18,033.11 Per Month.

If I have inspired you to stand your ground with your Netflix Subscription and refuse to be bullied into paying $1 more Per Month, Fuhgedaboutit. Netflix will never know you are gone because they will be too busy counting their money.

Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: Yea, I figured it out. $203,669,999 per month is $2,444,039,988 Per Year. Yes that’s 2,444,039,988 Billion with a B.
