The effect in TFA only really happens with fixed-cost, apl-you-can-eat offerings. (Amazon Prime is another.)
It's why people groused for years about a la carte cable, but nobody cares about McDonald's not serving Pizza Hut.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoAmazon Prime isn't fixed cost though - anything remotely worth watching on there costs extra. I'm not paying £7.99 on top of my existing subscription just to watch a 30-year-old movie I've already seen 15 times.
- mcv 8y agoI recently tried a free month trial on Amazon Prime because it looked like they had Good Omens. They only had the trailer and very little else. There's a cute kids' show that my youngest son loves, but I don't think we're going to extend this trial.
- repsilat 8y ago> anything remotely worth watching on there costs extra. Sorry, I just meant to refer to Prime free shipping. That was super ambiguous of me.
- sliken 8y agoAgreed, the selection is pretty terrible. Seems to be where terrible movies go to die. I had a pretty high opinion of HBO from decades ago, tons of premium movies etc. I got a few months free from comcast and was surprised how little content there was.
