- qchris 7y agoJust a quick heads-up, the page name for the article you linked looks like it got improperly formatted and is unintentionally just a string of HTML from the page source.
- lapnitnelav 7y agoOne of the real value of Netflix (/ Spotify) is that while you are committed to spending X amount of $/£/... per month, you get to potentially share that account with other people. I think having the ability to subscribe to multiple publishers with a flat fee that you can spread across multiple people would go a long way. Either with your family / friends or with some random on the internet, deciding on a bundle and pooling that money so that publishers get their $$ and you get multiple sources of content.
