In a similar fashion, a coffee from Starbucks isn't the same as an app download. For instance, though Netflix is about 2 Starbucks orders, it's subscribers attribute greater value to it. However, a $1 monthly increase brings out the pitch forks in them. It's all very confusing
- TeMPOraL 9y agoIt's less confusing when people stop trying to convert bewteen "value received" and "dollars paid". Starbucks coffee and Netflix subscription cost what they cost. Take it or leave it. If you take it, that becomes your baseline. And regulars/subscribers generally don't like when the base price goes up. Doesn't matter if the base price was $3 or $30.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoI think you're making the mistake of considering all Netflix users to be the same. We just got Netflix, it beat other options (Amazon mainly) because of the low price. I never get Starbucks (nor go out for a hot drink) because it's too expensive; when Netflix price increases I'll be moaning. Those moaning with me are likely to be people who also can't afford $overpricedCaffeineProduct, no?
