> pays taxes on that $11.7B

No company pays tax on revenue.

Netflix profit is less than 10% of revenue.

True, though certainly its employees are paying taxes. Netflix reported a profit of $558.9 million on 2017 and is on Pace to blow that out of the water this year. You're saying none of that was taxable? I get that there are plenty of ways to avoid paying taxes on profits, but really, they paid _nothing_?

It's all rather beside the point anyway. Saying that Netflix privdes no individual or societal benefit is just wrong.
