You said they got 3 billion as if they got 3 billion dollars. In reality Netflix paid for the rights to distribute a show and paid for the infrasture to stream 3 billion minutes of it in hopes that people keep renewing their subscription. It definitely made them a lot of money, but not 3 billion.
There’s no real way of knowing if having suits on there actually made them money though.
Say they paid $10mil to have it on Netflix. Someone watching it doesn’t mean that if it wasn’t on Netflix they wouldn’t have subscribed. I watch stuff on Netflix all the time that wouldn’t have made me subscribe to Netflix just to see it. If they weren’t on there I wouldn’t care.
They can guess at how much potential revenue having it on there makes, but there’s legitimately no real way to know. The only real way would be to remove suits from Netflix and then see how many subscribers they lose.
