If you pay $5 or $2 to watch a film and I choose to pick the no money ad version what IS the distinction.
Nothing really if we both enjoy the content. If it sucks however we both have choices. I move on to the next thing and enjoy it. IF you move on, then you're paying again, if you stay your funding shitty content and wasting time.
- IshKebab 3y agoI think you're misunderstanding - when they say "pay per view" they mean the consumer pays with real money, not attention. Yes the producer is paid per view. They're the same from that point of view. But that doesn't make them the same. The most important differences are: * pay per view doesn't have advertisers to satisfy * people's time is worth much more to advertisers than it is to the average viewer. People are only going to pay cash for things they really specifically want to watch (e.g. Game of Thrones), not channel hopping trash (24 hours in A&E) - but they'll happily watch adverts for the trash.
