Sure, but that happened years ago.
I don't think most people care about 20$ vs 10$ for a monthly subscription. For people who do care, they just pirate for 0$.
- colinmhayes 5y agoYou don't think people care about $120 a year? The average American can't afford a surprise $500 expense. Netflix is in most households in America. These aren't just white collar workers with money to spare. I think people are extremely price sensitive when it comes to entertainment.
- alexashka 5y agoI do think most people don't care about 120$ a year per household, yes. The people who do care - they will pirate anyway. You don't even have to pirate - aren't there just websites that play pirated content like it's youtube? Also, isn't youtube just free? Not having Netflix is not like not having a TV, it's more like not having the fancy cable channels package.
- colinmhayes 5y ago> I do think most people don't care about 120$ a year per household, yes. I really, really think you're wrong. The median household income in $67,521. That's not even close to "$120 isn't a big deal" territory, and half of households have less. More than half of American households have netflix, poor-ish people aren't just pirating the content. Smart TVs and chromecast like devices make pirating more difficult. Many people don't want to mess around with casting stuff to their TV from their computer.
- bombcar 5y agoIt’s possible people spending $120 a year on bad TV is why they can’t afford a surprise $500 expense …
