Mo’Nique wants you to boycott Netflix

[DCAllAfrican]

Worth = level at which someone deserves to be valued.

Y'all acting like there is no such thing as overpaying or underpaying

Who detemines what someone "DESERVES."

The consumer

If A consumer decides to spend x amount for y product, then that is what it is worth.

It doesn't matter what others feel the true value is.

WORTH isn't an absolute concept.

 

[hand2handking]

true we dont know

im purely speculating

it just seems like one of things where in this case its "what have you done for me lately"

but it seems so easy to see some "other" comedian getting a bag based off "resume"

Netflix is not a consumer boy

I am making a general statement about worth/value.

SO how can you overpay for something if the worth is what you paid?

Again, the concept of overpaying is usually determined by outsiders. Not the perso spending the money.

If you spend x amount on something, you felt it was worth it.

Really simple concept

I think we understand that but we need a better example that there's a problem than Mo. She's not the one to say it's really needed

 

[DCAllAfrican]

The concept of WORTH is not absolute.

Here is the definition.

Notice the use of the word SOMEONE

the value equivalent to that of someone or something under consideration; the level at which someone or something deserves to be valued or rated.

I clearly mentioned that point in previous posts.

 

[hand2handking]

im not trying to count ppls money its more like i wanna see everybody eats

 

[DCAllAfrican]

It is all about what you are able to negotiate.

Unfortunately, for some (due race/gender), it takes a lot of convincing to negotiate what you feel you are worth.

But to demand folks boycott the ENTIRE Netflix she is trippin man

Quote your post saying ANYTHING about over/under payment then. I'll wait.

Why are we ignoring that her husband managers her ? If she was repped by a bigger agency I'm quite sure the offer would've been larger even if she's irrelevant. Can't imagine her husband of all people are being realistic about the trajectory of her career and actually why she's blackballed.

I'm wondering why she thinks an Oscar plays a part in her doing stand up. Besides being totally unrelated, it's what have you done lately.

She seems like a pain in the *** to work with. That probably has a lot to do with her career going down.

This is also a good point that I haven't seen mentioned much. Makes sense

Sure.

Is me saying,

U reaching doggy, I'm out

Ain't no way Netflix broke even on $15M for an Amy Schumer stand up. Even if a million people signed up w Netflix just to watch it (which I doubt) thats still a 5 million dollar L.

I'm sure Netflix is just fine.

Considering they still make money from their 120 million subscribers.

People don't sign up for Netflix because there's one show they want to watch.

If Chastain and Spencer have equal screen time and display equal acting prowess in their respective roles, then it's borderline criminal for the latter to earn less than the former.

well i think that plays into what kind of roles are being written and what are they trying to promote?
