I think we can expect Netflix to go from ~$13/mo to ~$40/mo over the course of the next 30 years. For now they’re content to suck the life out of the networks.

I think we can expect Netflix to go from ~$13/mo to ~$40/mo over the course of the next 30 years.
For now they’re content to suck the life out of the networks. But generations of Americans have shown a willingness to pay $99/mo or more for their entertainment, which Netflix is pleased to provide.
We are the frogs in their pot, slowly being boiled. But, oh my, is it ever a nice hot tub.

- velcrovan 8y agoI think we can expect that purely because of normal inflation. $40 per year in 2048 would reflect a 4% annual increase. So if your price prediction is correct, it doesn't really say much about the streaming content market specifically.
- iambateman 8y agoI meant to say inflation adjusted. Going from $13 to $40 in 2019 dollars is a substantial shift.
