That still doesn't change the definition of inflation. In a very oversimplified example, if Netflix costs $5 instead of $10/month those actors would be forced to accept $10m instead of $20m per movie.

They wouldn't be "forced" to accept anything, they just wouldn't do the deal in the first place, and would go to someone more willing to pay them the fee they want.

That's why I said "oversimplified". Is there someone willing to pay them more at the moment? Why not? Is $20m per actor a universal constant? That's how inflation works.
