This is what I'm talking about when I say people who stick up for
Netflix Throttling. They have to find excuses.

No one has ever said anything about Netflix making a profit or denied
the reasons for their throttling. If they are going to go bankrupt
becuase they can't live up to their "as many as you want" policy than
simply CHANGE the policy. Don't give me the excuses why they throttle.
I know why they throttle. Simply change the ad to "as many a month as
we deem necessary so we won't go bankrupt" not "as many as you want."
