The salesman took no part in making the car. He is literally just the middle man. That guy is an idiot.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

MODERATORS
Is the point still valid if you replace salesman with whoever worked on manufacturing the car?
The metaphor would at least make sense. The point he is trying, and failing, to make is stupid. Workers deserve a fair share of the profits.
In this example, the salesman (Netflix) is literally getting paid over and over for this content
Writers aren't car salesmen. Writers create the foundation of the show. They're more similar to the engineers who design cars.
.. who also don't get paid based on how long or how much the car is driven.
They also don't get paid $3,000 to design cars
What a stupid sentiment. Writers have been paid residuals for their work since the advent of television when reruns became possible.
Whole lotta bootlickers on this thread
I feel like there's some argument with intellectual property vs physical product or service vs physical product.
It's a matter of ownership on who gets paid.
