Ah I think I see what you're saying. The overall group dynamics work out such that to make the distribution economically viable I'd still wind up paying the same. Now that I'm thinking through your lens my way might even result in preventing anything other than what is defined by the majority as mainstream programming from being released. Largely because I doubt shows have anything close to an even distribution of watchers so certain genres would naturally be oversubscribed. I wonder if this is really pointing out to separating the business model for new content versus old content. I very rarely watch a new show, there's so much existing good media, in that case I'm not trying to pay for creation of the show, I'm just trying to pay to have the media available to me, so that's bandwidth, delivery and hosting of said content, versus the continued production of said content.
