People put a lot of capital and labor into producing those services.
Yes, no doubt. And they deserve to have their product marketed honestly, rather than sold as part of bamboozling packages designed to make people pay for things they don't want or need. Ex: Millions of people uninterested in sports are forced into paying for ESPN as a condition of getting HBO or other premium services. So the subscription or "ala carte" service is overpriced to make those seem like a better deal than they are, since no one wants to have 6 different subscriptions because at that point they might as well buy the bundle.
The game is rigged, heads they win, tails we lose. Now Disney is pulling all their content out of Netflix and starting their own streaming service, so to get the same stuff you got from one fee you'll now have to pay twice. Rinse the cash out of the customer and repeat, but I won't play.
We are only accustomed to dealing with like twenty online personas at a time so when we only have about ten people some people have to be strawmanned in order to advance our same relative go nowhere nonsense positions. -TheReal_ND
