Yes, it could be seen that way, but in practice, are people really going to collect a few dollars from everyone who's watching a movie in their house with them?

There are ways to justify a $20 movie rental, but it feels different to go spend that at a theater vs paying it at home. I will wager that it's a much harder decision to make as the value proposition is different.
- gowld 6y ago> are people really going to collect a few dollars from everyone If they are poor, yes. If they are rich, no one cares. > 20 movie rental, but it feels different to go spend that at a theater It costs a lot more than $20 for 4 people to go to the theater.
- hanniabu 6y ago> are people really going to collect a few dollars from everyone who's watching Eh, not really, and that's not really the point. The gist 8is split amongst everybody (all your friends getting value out of the same $20) even if you're still paying the whole amount. Plus when this happens usually they'll bring food and drinks, or they'll do similar when at their house, or cover you when the next time you go out, etc. So it all evens out. It's the same concept as having a BBQ. You're not the only person eating the bbq but you likely bought it and ate doing the cooking lol
