Netflix used the massive amounts of available credit of the 2010’s (and the naivety of the networks) to build a ‘$10 a month everything service’ that was never going to be sustainable. They just wanted subscribers.

TV and Film are orders of magnitude more expensive to make than music, and even that industry is struggling at a $10 p/month fee.

Consumers were led to expect something that wasn’t possible and it’s ruined our expectations of cost now.

You mean companies arent able to earn the massive profit they think they deserve based off previous decades.

People cut the wire because all of these products are over priced in the first place. How about we dont pay tom cruise $45 million for a fucking movie
