Can you point to the year Netflix made a loss for me? I don't see one in the last 12 years.

That's because they don't declare taking out long term bonds as part of their p/e calculations, just the cost of servicing the loan.

Netflix were borrowing circa $4 billion dollars a year to license content until two years ago. There's nothing wrong with that, but you aren't making a genuine profit.
