Exactly, this isn't a race to the bottom, it's squeezing blood from a stone:
It's hey you have Netflix but not Hulu, would you get Hulu too if it was a little cheaper?
Hulu gets some money, Apple gets a cut of the Hulu subscription in addition to preexisting the Netflix subscription, customer gets a small break.
- stephenr 3y agoAs much as the article paints this as being a way to “steal” customers, I dont think that’s what its about at all. I think it’s about: “Hey you have a subscription to Super X from Foo Co, you can get a discounted subscription to Super Y from Foo Co, and/or W Plus from Bar Inc”. Think of it as a way to bundle subscriptions, but the bundle isn’t limited to a single developer. A while ago Nebula had a deal with Curiosity Stream (I don’t know if either offer subs via the App Store, it’s just an example): this could facilitate that kind of deal.
