This seems to be a generational problem. Middle aged people are not keen on the subscription media model and would rather go without. Younger people, like my adult children, on the other hand, cannot and will not live without it. They will gladly pay an arm and a leg for the convenience and limitations associated. I do find that strange. All the younger people know is full service convenience or complete absence of experience with no in between. I, and many people I known my age, would gladly spend many hours carefully procuring media and carefully storing/organizing it at great cost and effort. If the internet goes down we old people still retain access to everything uninterrupted.
