Mo’Nique calls for boycott of Netflix over gender, color bias

That Wanda Sykes 250k as a low end data point is interesting. They are basically telling us that established veteran Black female comics without a lot of current buzz are worth 500k or less. So now, I wanna see what Tiffany Hadish would get. She's basically the hotest Black comic (Male or female) out there right now. She's playing small venues on her current tour, but she has a book out and recently did SNL (first Black female comic to do so I think). So what would her worth be to a Netflix?

If it's less than 3 or 4 million then I think it is what Netflix says it is. That algorithm/analytics basically says that Black female comics don't get eyes. It's upwards of 5-6 Million plus then the answer is Monique is out of touch with what she's worth.

Dee'Ray Davis allegedly got 5 million for his recent Netflix special. I had to google that ninja. He's been in a ton of films, but only as side roles and bit parts. I went thru some of the youtube clips and he had some funny 'growing up poor' bits, but nothing that made me laugh out loud. If he really got 5 milly for his special then I'm confused as what Netflix ROI calculation is based on.
 
Context of not being funny/relevant

That's like being mad that DJ Quik isn't getting Migos or the Weekends money. I feel he's a better artist but in today's market he isn't a top draw. Why cant you see the parallels?

Well good cause I'm sitting here looking at his show. They got this ninja in what looks like a standing room only radio hall, with about 250 fold up seats for an audience section. Ain't no wide shots of the audience cause the seating area is TINY AS fuck.

Per your last sentence, see the quote below regarding Netflix and Black female comedians.

Is it really shitting to say that Mo’Nique doesn’t deserve more then $500k for a show.

I think I’m an amazing Lawyer but I’m not going to say that I need to be lumped in with the legends that put in work for 25 years and argued Shit before the TN Supreme Court. I’ve only been in the game 11 years.. there’s still shit I haven’t done. So I wouldn’t expect $2500.00 an hour on a divorce. Now if I argue some game changing shit before the US Supreme Court... you best believe I expect to be paid and I would claim fuckery on anything less.
 
I guess that it is the wrong time for this to come out.....

Netflix is now worth more than $100B

Netflix crossed a fun milestone today, crossing the $100 billion mark for its market cap as it once again surprised industry observers with better-than-expected growth in its subscribers.

We’ll get to the financial numbers in a minute but, as usual, the big story here is that it continues to wow Wall Street with impressive growth in its subscriber numbers. The company said it added more than 8 million new subscribers total after already setting pretty robust targets for the fourth quarter this year, giving it a healthy push as it crossed the $100 billion mark after the report came out this afternoon.

Here’s the rundown:


Netflix’s biggest challenge has been to aggressively invest in good original content that’s going to bring in new subscribers. While its shows may clean up at various awards shows like the Emmys, it still has to show that it can convert those awards into raw subscribers. But thanks to what appears to be continuing success with its original content like Stranger Things, as well other returning seasons for shows like The Crown, it’s been able to continue its staggering run.


While the company’s core financials actually came in roughly in line with what Wall Street was looking for (which is still important), Netflix’s subscriber numbers are usually the best indicator for the core health of the company. That recurring revenue stream — and its growth — is critical as it continues to very aggressively spend on new content. The company said its free cash flow will be between negative $3 billion and negative $4 billion, compared to negative $2 billion this year.

And that aggressive spend only seems to get more aggressive every time we hear from the company. Netflix is now saying that it expects to spend between $7.5 billion and $8 billion on content in 2018 — which is around in line with what it said in October when it said it would spend between $7 billion and $8 billion. It’s the same range, but tuning up that bottom end is still an important indicator.


Netflix shows picked up 20 Emmy awards last year, but just having a shiny object on a shelf isn’t something that’s going to indicate that the company is going to continue to grow at a healthy clip. In the face of an increasingly crowded market, Netflix has to demonstrate its ability to continue to offer lasting value for subscribers — especially as it continues to grow abroad. The company, of course, has plenty of benefits in terms of how it handles its shows when it makes them itself.

The company also has to make sure its brand also fits that narrative, as it now finds itself dealing with issues like having to cancel House of Cards — and that has a monetary impact as well. Netflix said it took a $39 million “non-cash charge in Q4 for unreleased content we’ve decided not to move forward with.” The company didn’t specify what content, but it’s dealt with some issues in the past several months that might necessitate the need to recalibrate its slate.

Netflix also tucked another newsy bit into the report: the addition of new board member Rodolphe Belmer, former CEO of Canal+. As the company continues to expand internationally, bringing on people with experience like Belmer of course makes sense.

Here’s the final slash line for the company’s report today:

  • Revenue: $3.29 billion, compared to $3.28 billion estimates from Wall Street
  • Earnings: 41 cents per share, in line with estimates from Wall Street
  • Q4 US subscriber additions: 1.98 million
  • Q4 International subscriber additions: 6.36 million
  • Q1 forecast US additions: 1.45 million
  • Q1 forecast international additions: 4.90 million
 
Yvette Carnell just finished caping for Mo’Nique just cuz she allowed her an interview.

Then she basically tried to trash Chappelle like he isn’t funny.

This is getting ridiculous. Charlemagne got it right and he should know Yvette, he’s in the business.

Thing is, she didnt say female comedian, she said COMEDIAN!?!?! Fuck Monique, and like I said, she dug her own hole, and only trying to use this ruse to pad her pockets. Her fake ass doesnt care about any cause, which is fucking despicable when there are people truly victims of this...

Even Tone got in on it. You could tell he was a little uncomfortable, but he went in nonetheless. I usually fuck with Yvette but she is wrong on this one.
 
Some people should just realize its over and sit back and shut up. If you no longer have any clout in the business you are in then your complaints are just falling on deaf ears.

That's that bullshit lol. She should think about using our struggle for her own personal gain. Jada did the same shit when Will didn't get nominated and now she's at the Oscars all the time and never the bet awards. Remember when she said "we should just create our own"? Years later , theyre back in there yucking it up. These rich people love stirring up the emotions of the truly downtrodden so they can line their pockets. Fuck outta here.

If YOU don't wanna talk bad about Monique Jada, then YOU don't. Stop trying to police everyone else's opinion.

Maybe I am wrong but the term lowball means you are being paid less based on offers your have received or currently receiving. With that said, has anyone else offered her more than $500,000?

For example, if Sony offered her 8 million, Universal offered 9 million and HBO offered her 8 million then we would have a bases to compare. Without any other offers, she may have to face reality that $500,000 is her market.
