TLDR the EU found that privacy will maybe reduce top movies earnings by 5%.
Also, 80% of respondents find TV streaming prices too expensive in comparison to the content offered.
- throwaway8689 4y agoWe can all debate the quality of Netflix or Prime but the cost is about the same as renting a VHS tape from Blockbuster once a week 20 years ago. Not even adjusting for inflation.
- unixgoddess 4y agoa big difference is that you could find vhs and dvds in public libraries, whereas the library model breaks apart for streamed media.
- goosedragons 4y agoMy library does actually have streaming movies and TV. But the comparison of what they have available to stream vs take out physically on DVD and Blu-ray just highlights how messed up it is. You will struggle to find a movie you've heard from the past 10 years, you will struggle to find a good movie from the past 30. Meanwhile the physical library has recent new releases and stuff you've actually heard of and want to watch.
- throwaway8689 4y agoAgree. I'd go to Blockbuster for block busters and the library or an independent video rental store for art house and foreign language films.
- krfsm 4y agoNote that in 2013 there weren't many streaming services available in the polled countries. Netflix first appeared in UK and Sweden by 2012, and was probably not available at all in the other polled countries. So it's more likely that TV show prices refer to cable TV, not streaming.
