- nkozyra 6y agoWell let's be honest: what we all clamored for years to get was a la carte. We got it but it's more expensive than we envisioned it.
- dehrmann 6y agoWe did, but it makes more sense when you have "channels." Once the channels are gone, aside from sports, it's not so clear because there aren't necessarily sane content bundles, and no one wants to pay $3 for an episode of 30 Rock (or $1 for Two and a Half Men). It's interesting to compare it to music streaming because music has more replay value, so selling tracks could work there, but it's a huge barrier for discovery. It'd be an even bigger barrier for 20-60 minutes of TV.
- livre 6y agoI wonder how long until the "basic subscription" starts including ads and we'll have to pay for a more advanced one to get rid of them. I hope I'm wrong and that never happens.
