Katt was just breakin down the real with Netflix.

Netflix is all about data. They get an insane amount of information on their subscribers - far more than HBO or Showtime could ever dream of.

A lot of smart motherfukkers working there.

Given what Katt said, it sounds like Netflix runs the numbers on how many tickets you've sold and where, your social media following (especially if you're a new comic - and that social media info also lets them see if you're a potential local, regional, national, or global draw), the prices you were able to charge per ticket, compare that to their in-house data on Netflix subscription penetration & viewing habits in those markets, build out an estimate of subscriber adds / subscriber retention over a certain number of years should they host your special based on the model, and then cut you a check that's some percentage of the estimated revenue impact of adding your special to their lineup.

wow, you created an entire criteria based on what Katt said and didn't say, while not working with/for Netflix

A lot of smart motherfukkers working there don't mean they are negotiating in good faith, which is all Monique wants to make sure

Outside of this discussion, tell me when it's ever acceptable for a person to receive checks from an entity and be viewed as unbiased while capeing for that entity?

Why are you talmbowt prices comedians charged per ticket, when all of them,especially up and coming acts have no influence on the price?

You said in-house data based on viewing habits on potential markets...so you saying that Netflix is offering comedians deals based on whether the audience, that goes to a comic's tour/open mic nights/comedy clubs, likes to watch certain genre's of films/comedy specials at specific times of day?

What Katt said is in line with what's been revealed thus far about how Netflix does business:
Laughing All the Way to the Bank
http://fortune.com
Netflix’s new specials change the landscape for stand-up comedians
There's multiple angles for a comedian to try and boost their Netflix payout - one is to simply tour more and sell more tickets at higher prices. Another is to focus on growing their social media following as much as possible - and especially outside of the US (where Netflix is expanding fastest). Another is to ensure that their content isn't too contemporary - that's its more "timeless" in nature, because that helps maintain the value of the special as a subscriber draw / retention tool over more years.
Because they're able to get such good data on the preferences and habits of subscribers, as well as what programming changes drive subscriber increases & help retain subscribers, they can cut checks to comedians with a lot more confidence than
HBO or Showtime. Whatever Netflix is offering comedians is probably closer to "true value" than any check coming from the other big players. For some its a lot more than they'd ever expected...for others, a lot less :francis:

Bottom line is Netflix couldn't care less what they pay for. It could be fukking cat videos for all they care. All that matters is that the content drives new subs and helps retain existing ones.
Bottom line is that you're doing exactly what Kat and every Netflix stan is doing, speculating, instead of requesting Netflix to explain what's their criteria to ensure no bias. That's all Monique have asked for, but for obvious reason(easier to shyt on an individual, then make sacrifices and demands against a huge company) it's been hard for Netflix supporters to make a similar request, after most will be in another thread dap fishing about white supremacy/Hollywood discrimination blah blah

Two of these articles have "Netflix had no comments", while all 3 are highlighting the opportunities Netflix gave bigger named and no-named comedians....so what happens when comedians sell out their local/tour shows but don't have a large social media following?

Katt saying/hinting that TH a bedwench/rachet/stereotype, would be silly after he made an entire career with being a stereotype on and off stage

But he said he stood with Lunell for getting skipped while she also did/said rachet/stereotypical shyt. So he's being a hater because of his inconsistancy
...in other words stereotype/rachet/bedwenching is stereotype/rachet/bedwenching regardless of the person

Why do I love this Katt?

He just cannot be silenced or insulted or upstaged.

He starting to sound like an authority. Its weird. But he's like an authority on Niqqadom or like Niqqanometry. Real shyt, but highly ratchet..

Anyway. Fun ass vid. I wanted more, peraonally

He already said earlier in the clip that he respects those that write more than those that read and she had never proven herself in front of a live crowd like the others he mentioned.
Do you know whether he has shytted on other comics(especially non-Black) for this reason?

All y’all caping for Wanda are simple. She’s a comedian, she just couldn’t hang. It might have been personal but I’m sure she knew that and could tell before he started roasting her. Just knowing who he is she should have been ready. There were plenty of opportunities for her to get some good jabs in, but she just didn’t.

-his hair ain’t 16 inches, not even close and his ends look fried
-his hairline
-the jail jokes could have went somewhere else...terrible execution
-he’s short
-he sounds like a leprechaun

And I’m sure there could be some more material after replies.

She walked right into that broccoli joke. How are you obese talking about your best dish is broccoli, an easy to cook vegetable at that? :mjlol:

I’ve never met one fat person whose favorite dish is grilled asparagus and sautéed spinach. FOH :russ:.

Katt was hilarious, this might be a GOAT unintentional roast.
