Not if I want to watch Netflix original content. Besides, the key here is _viable_. I don't consider spending orders of magnitude more to watch the same content _viable_, and I can afford it. For those who could not it's a non-starter.

- EpicEng 8y agoHuh, I didn't know that, thanks. Still prohibitely expensive in comparison to the monthly fee.
- dubya 8y agoTwelve hours of video for $20, if you only watch it once, does not qualify as 'prohibitively expensive'.
- EpicEng 8y agoIt does because I can watch that and a whole host of other things for $8 / month. You have to compare the price relative to the alternative. if I purchased everything I watch on Netflix at DVD prices I'd be spending many thousands of dollars / year more.
