> My questions becomes, why would anyone pay this much? The simple answer is that "anyone" is really broad! More specifically and to state the obvious, not everyone is you! There are a _lot_ of people who watch far more than you do. If you watch two 1-hour episodes per day, then it becomes $1.50 per hour is a pretty great deal in terms of entertainment. (Compare that to $25+ for a movie at a movie theatre, or $60 for a Broadway show, or $20 for an hour at your local rock climbing gym.) I don't disagree with your overall premise -- it's expensive! -- but it's not _not_ worth it for a lot of people, including myself.
