In all fairness, based on the accuracy of how courts are portrayed in Suits, the writers spent anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes writing this. Pretty impressive pay.

Edit: this is a bit of a semantic but X billion minutes is a completely meaningless metric. Netflix isn’t paid by minutes spent watching something. You could assume those minutes mean a liklihood of customers being retained or added, but without data on that relationship it remains an anecdote really. It could be a trillion minutes watched. If it neither gained nor retained customers for Netflix it has no meaningful relationship with the writers, actor, or producers “rightful” earnings.
