Top of the heap? Watching stuff like Netflix and Hulu. The bottom? Looking at charts! I know which one I prefer.

Eyeballs and Subscribers
I can relate to this chart…………here we have Spotify, with nearly half a billion free users (they have to see ads) which contribute a mere 6% of profits. Then we have a much smaller group of folks who actually pay for the service and constitute 94% of profits. Kind of like Slope, except that the split is 0% and 100%, since I decided years ago not to sully my beloved website with advertisements for denture cleaners and shoe lifts.
