Netflix has followed a similar pattern. In 2010, Netflix had sales of $2.1 billion and 2,100 employees. Each one of them could account for slightly less than $1 million in revenue. A decade later, the firm had grown more than 10 times in size, with revenues approaching $25 billion. Its 9,400 employees counted, now, for nearly $2.7 million in revenue each.
Of course, the writers, actors and other crew aren't Netflix employees. Like Uber and Amazon, the platform business model passes both costs and risk to buyers and sellers, but keeps the profits.
