She got 11 million bucks for that special that was so bad that Netflix wiped out reviews of it and said they'd change their review system because of it and she went back and Netflix gave her more money? I wonder how much money they lost overall from her special and whether they'll ever go public about it? Or will they keep it quiet for fear of being called misogynists and anti-feminists for saying Amy Schumers special bombed and they lost money on it?
Why does everyone keep repeating this fat comedian caused Netflix to change their review system? Simply not true and you're making her seem more powerful than she is.
They mentioned changing it after all the bad reviews for her special came out. So if it wasn't because of her it was an awfully funny coincidence. I don't think she has power. I just think she's an entitled unfunny cunt who uses feminism and PC culture to keep herself relevant.
That's not true. The new thumb ratings came like less than month after the Schumer special? I highly doubt they coded a new rating system in that short amount of time.
Also, there's no Netflix source saying it was because of Schumer.
Netflix is the king in one of the fastest growing industries. They're making like 50+ comedy specials a year. Do you think they give a fuck about a comedian who they don't even pay the most?
No, you're right that's a bad point on my end. I'm saying there's more evidence that they wouldn't change it for 1 comedian, when they have better on their lineup.
But what about having the new system up so quickly? Netflix has had poorly rated shows before that cost more money, so why Amy? How would that even hurt Netflix too?
I think Schumer is a terrible comedian and she couldn't push around Netflix like that.
that's not how business works, dummy. They were counting on bringing in new Subs and further expanding their reach and expecting a measurable return for investing in the sum of money they paid her.
Actually, for mature service companies like Netflix they care a lot more about keeping customers paying each month rather than growing subs. It's far more profitable to keep a million existing customers paying $10 each month than gaining a million new ones.
So you could get the same amount of new subscribers each month and still have profits grow exponentially as long as churn is low.
So what's most important is that the content they produce is entertaining for their current customers.
If not enough people who use their service tuned into it then yes they lost money. Same as a TV show on a network loses money if it doesn't attract viewers which causes ratings to sink which makes advertisers want their ads pulled from a sinking ship and put on higher rated shows. Netflix doesn't have advertisers but they have a responsibility to put on shows their paying customers want to see.
I would assume Netflix keeps track of who watches what and knows what people are into. So they pay her 11 million because they assume enough of their subscribers are into her to make it worthwhile. But suddenly they realize not enough people tuned it to make it financially feasible to have her do anymore specials. Theoretically they may have lost nothing despite her special stinking but they lost views and could have put on a show or movie that would have made more sense from a viewership standpoint. So in the long run they lost because if her special had been great they could have signed her to another one with the promise that word of mouth at how amazing her "Fat pig in Cow skin" special was would make more people sign up to see a new one. But it didn't and so they lost but will have to pay her as if she's great or risk being called anti feminist. They'll probably even have to throw even more money at her and give her another special to make the SJW's happy and prevent themselves from being attacked for "discriminating" against her by not signing her back up.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 74%. (I'm a bot)
Story highlightsVariety reported Schumer negotiated for more money from Netflix.
Citing an unnamed source, writer Daniel Holloway wrote that Schumer initially was paid about $11 million but "Received significantly more compensation after she raised the question of fairness relative to the Rock and Chappelle deals."
Schumer addressed the issue - and the ensuing controversy by those who feel she hasn't paid the dues that Rock and Chappelle have - on an Instagram photo of herself appearing to be topless and hiding behind a hot dog prop.
No one fucking "deserves" equal pay. That's not how capitalism works. A janitor shouldn't make the same pay as the CFO of a company. Women shouldn't get paid the same as men, because they have a clam instead of a cock.
Everyone should (and generally do) get paid based on performance, experience, etc. Just because men generally make more doesn't make anything 'unfair,' it means they earned it for a myriad of reasons. The fucking entitlement of people in 2017, I swear to god.
First of all, those studies are flawed terribly and went adjusted properly show that there is a statistically insignificant difference between men and women who actually perform the same jobs. So the wage gap is a myth. Second, it's rather insulting to men to just assume they didn't earn it if they are paid more.

If you're attempting to clear your name, don't be a cunt in the same statement.

She didn't even really clear her name.
She specified that she didn't ask for equal money.
But admits she still went back and asked for more money after her deal was done, under the guise of "fairness" (which she flat out denied at first).
So she still did the exact thing people said she did but it's somehow different because she didn't get the same money they did.

You are ignorant and uninformed
1 DeafandMutePenguin 2017-08-24
You're wrong. They changed it cuz they couldn't stop the bad publicity.
1 DangerouslyCivilized 2017-08-24
Because Netflix are the ones who said they changed the ratings system in response to people one-starring big Amy.
1 turnthemaround 2017-08-24
Where?
1 TakesTheWrongSideGuy 2017-08-24
Did people cancel their Netflix subscriptions over her special?
Otherwise they lost no money.
1 SirWallaceII 2017-08-24

which I am sure they did loose money on the deal

You have no idea what you're talking about. Original content at a subscription service is to retain subscribers, not to gain them.

I remember Louis Ck saying he made like a million off that live from the Beacon special. Pretty crazy how much more these guys and pigs are paid now.

Amy saying she deserves to be paid as much as Chappelle and Rock is like the ballot saying he should be paid as much as LeBron James.

I like how they say that she couldn't have been hotter (as a personality). It's like they know she is a disgusting hag and had to put that caveat in.

Stealing a man's idea to do a special in leather and then demanind more money acting like yours was comparable.
Women are like annoying, eager little siblings who copy you to fit in for approval and then get arrogant thinking they invented something original.
