This Netflix situation is more like:
- I ask my cousin in N.Y.C. to drive to Auburn, Maine with a package for me
- He arrives later that day and we reminisce about family over drinks
- The next day, I move to Vermont, and ask him to deliver another package, but it takes two weeks for him to get there because my cousin can't afford to pay a fee to the state of Vermont to be able to travel at speeds over 5% of the posted speed limit
...or at least it's no worse an analogy. It's equally bad at describing what the fuck is actually happening, which is that Comcast is extorting other companies because it can.
