Supercar hire businesses do exist though, and I can certainly rent one for a day in many places all over the world.
Regarding Netflix - I’m referring to OG Netflix which really did seem to aggregate everything under one subscription.
In any case, I do agree that micro transactions for articles mostly do fail, hence my leaning towards a more “Netflix”-style approach that lowers the risk for consumers. I don’t expect to get what I want here, but publishers also can’t simply get what they want either.
- bruce511 2y agoYes super-car rentals exist, but only in a small number of locations. My point was that not having one conveniently available doesn't make alternative approaches ok. An aggregator like the original Netflix would be nice but I suspect that model would not work for long. (As evidenced by current Netflix et al). Publishers can certainly do anything they like with their content, and they set the rules for accessing it. Assuming what they want is piles of money, I expect they take that into account when setting the rules. But it's their content. You don't get to break the rules just because you don't like them.
- immibis 2y agoWhy doesn't someone get to break the rules just because they don't like them? This principle isn't backed up by empirical observations.
