There’s decision fatigue on parts of consumers too. Should i pay for this now or not? If the publisher demands payment after the fact, then they barely have any leverage in the transaction. If before, there’ll be a lot of hemming and hawing (like the app store). In addition people balk at the subscription price compared to netflix. They forget that there’s still a price floor to production and a publishers audience is smaller (and maybe geographically restricted) while netflix has massive economies of scale and can amortize its cost over the entire population. I’m seeing this kind of pricing disparity everywhere (the app store, publishing and what not). I don’t know what’s the solution. Bigger companies have distorted pricing expectations of consumers, especially when so many services/apps are available for free supported with ads.
