The fact of the matter is that $7 a month for what they are investing in content is not a sustainable business model. People will pay the extra without batting an eye. If an extra few $20’s out of your pocket is that big a deal in a calendar year, you probably are not their target demographic anyways and shouldn’t be paying for streaming services since you need to focus on living expenses.
The original post here uses words like “gouging” and “raking”, so this didn’t start out as a calm discussion of opportunity cost.
The post you’re replying to is kind of condescending, so all in all this is probably not the best content we’ll see all day.
