I'm longing for this for years. I'm pretty fed up of often the only choices being either free and ad supported or having to pay a monthly subscription for entertainment, journalism, software, etc. I have quite a high willingness to pay for all of these, but I don't want to manage a hundred concurrent subscriptions nor having to restrict use to a small subset of services.
- twelve40 5y agoyou can watch tons of movies on Amazon each for a couple of bucks. Does that count as a microtransaction?
- cgrealy 5y agoActually, I can't, because of stupid geo-restrictions (yes, I could use a vpn, that's not the point).
- smoe 5y agoIt certainly does count, but last I checked it is very hit and miss what movies I can actually watch due to geo restrictions. Sometimes there are multiple version of the same movie, some blocked some available. At least it shows this info already on the search result page. Often there is no version with original audio but only the dubbed one, which is a deal breaker for me.
