I've never heard this is the case, and if there was a secret deal that this was the case I think it would have been leaked years ago, but also it would be difficult for this to be the case and not have it be public knowledge because accounting details of large companies are something that is often inspected by news organizations and others on the lookout for something to complain about.

But maybe it can be that it is public knowledge and I'm one of the ten thousand who doesn't know? If so, do you have a link?

Nope, it was just a thought. Sorry if I came off as implying shaddy things. I agree with what you wrote and it would be surprising something like that had been going on for years without anyone noticing (or revealing it).

I suppose it'd be less expensive to advertise a show outside of Netflix UI.

Which is why Apple withholds fabulous amounts of detail in their financial disclosures.
