MODERATORS
Netflix appreciates your support for bigotry and is glad that you will be added to the data that shows that bigotry makes for popular programming. Otherwise, we might not make this sort of thing anymore.
They never said how they're gonna watch it, plenty of ways to see it on the high sea.
I don't really think that changes what I'm saying. I think it is unlikely that Netflix doesn't take piracy into account when calculating viewership. Because even if those aren't subscribers, they're viral marketers and drive up subscriptions because of it. Obviously, they don't want their programming to be pirated, but I think it would be foolish of them to not fold those into overall viewership numbers. I would say the same thing about Max and The Last of Us or Disney and The Mandalorian.
Your views on piracy and Netflix are so outdated. Modern day piracy is not transparent because most people abandoned torrenting which is how netflix got their numbers originally. There is nothing for them to gauge audience on, no seeders no peers. Today pirate sites are huge money makers. They have their own apps and ecosystems with quality and services better than paid services with highly sophisticated CDNs that make use of temporary domains to rotate the DNS of the players so they can't be caught.
All you do is talk out of your ass
