Filter to 1-star and note how many reviews are direct copies of each other - many referencing that the Obamas are executive producers.

    views == royalties. Views actually cut into their bottom line.

      I’m missing something here, if they produce it and stream it, who would pay those royalties?

        They would pay the “royalties”. It’s actually residuals, and it’s usually paid to the actors and senior crew (director, producers, etc), from what i understand.

        Royalties are paid to, potentially, a lot of people. Most a-list actors will get royalties with every dvd sold (and increasingly views on streaming services,) and such like.

            for netflix, yes. I assume Obamas and others make more with every view. maybe a few cents…but still.
