That's how _all_ movie making is seen. It's a business. You go into business to make money.

I'll take the wait and see approach. Why would anyone pay extra for an exclusive black service when, in most territories, they can get gobs of black entertainment from Netflix itself?

It would make better sense for foreign black filmmakers to band together and sell their syndication and streaming rights as a unit to the larger providers, which will allow them better access without asking people to pay for more services.
