Why are people so dumb… They treat us bad? Let’s throw more money on them.

People are dumb, but moreso they are lazy and want to be entertained rather than self improve. You can teach yourself how to create your own Netflix in a day but most people would rather endlessly scroll content that makes them feel envious or angry because that seems easier than learning something new.

I really want to see your “nailed it” post for that learned-to-make-Netflix-in-a-day alternative.

If you could learn to build a 194-billion-market-cap company, or even just build such a company… you probably wouldn’t be here.

He's referring to how you can easily learn to pirate all of Netflix's content.

At the end of the day, people are exhausted and the tv is their solace. Not a great way to live but I get it.
