Netflix had 5,700 employees in 2017, and only a 'couple hundred' of those were engineers?

Yes

I think your stats are off. When I left Netflix in 2015, we already had 1000+ engineers. By 2017 it was probably closer to 2000.

So if 2000 eng, they are paying 300k on avg on the low end. That is like 600 mil/ year???? Omg

180m subscribers x $10 a month = 1.8B per month in income. I think they can deal with it...
