Jesse: [00:22:50] I thought when we talked about a Netflix plan, that content was considered actually a capital investment that they depreciated. Is that not the same for Disney? Or am I misremembering?Ben: [00:23:01] No, that's right. You're amortizing some of the content spend based on viewing and based on if you're licensing, when you have rights Disney's not really licensing a lot of content, although you do license from your studio. So there's an amortization expense as the content comes on the service is available and is viewed.
