I'm not a shill as far as I know. What if I agree with them that it would have made more sense to mention profit #? Do I instantly become a "shill" too? If so, where can I get my check?

There is no definitive profitability number. Do you remember how the quote said profitability, and not profit? Companies scale their costs based on revenue. https://ycharts.com/companies/NFLX/stock_buyback

Seethe, shills.
