JD Vance is a piece of shit and I'm sure his book(s) suck, but is it truly failure if Netflix buys a film based on your book?

Did Amazon make a documentary about Melania Trump because she was so fascinating and her life needed to be recorded?

Yes. Netflix isn't buying it because they believe it's good. It's always business and it's good business (at least it was) to be involved in maga money. Look at Melania movie. Doesn't make sense at all to exist.

I would define success other than financial but I'm not Netflix nor most people

Also Melania is a bad example. Seems like it flopped despite having every advantage

For a corporation there is literally no other definition of success unless it's financial. And if they are presented with a choice to make money or do the "right" thing they are legally obligated to choose money because share holder value takes priority

Where did you get the idea that I needed to be told that..? I literally said Netflix defined success as financial. Also I'm over the age of 10 so I kinda knew that decades ago.
