I can’t think of a more fair model than "sum up what the user watched, divide that across what they watched, distribute according to whatever agreements they have with those rights holders. At least then Netflix gets out of the business of being the bad guy.
“Hey if you don’t think you’re getting your cut, take that up with the network that sold us your show for pennies”
If the company is selling/lending their content to another, just give people a fixed % of the deal, agreed beforehand, basically like ownership shares paying dividends.
If it’s first party, set an engagement metric or two (minutes watched or whatever) that trigger a bonus payment.

Why make the math so hard?
