Err, subscription is a step up from skinner boxes and micro transactions. Lets all be thankful nobody has worked out how to bring them to TV.
- layoric 3y agoHopefully it will never take hold, but I can see forcing individual episode purchases, or 'premium show' subscriptions (within an existing subscription) being a thing sadly.. Just have to look at twitch and subscribing to individual channels, can get expensive quickly. Yes, twitch is supporting individuals, but can see that model being adapted..
- johnnyanmac 3y agoWe already have those. It's pay-per-view and pay-per-minute formats. of course, unless you have something on the level of desire like the World cup these models don't work. But it's doable. Just not profitable 99.9% of the time. In a way most media are already like Skinner boxes to begin with. They want to leave you hanging and begging for the next episode, or entry, or whatnot.
