What the torrent sites are getting right isn't the price, it's the UX. I actually pay $20/month for a seedbox, but that's worth it to me because the UX with torrents is far superior to Netflix, Hulu, or anything else out there.
- tsotha 14y agoBut they have unlimited freedom on the UX because they don't have to worry about protecting their content. It's a much easier environment to work with.
- trafficlight 14y agoAs if the networks' current protection schemes are doing them any good...
- tsotha 14y agoProbably not, or at least not much. But you can't blame them for trying to keep Hulu on a short leash.
- res0nat0r 14y agoThat or the fact that you can download 200$/month worth of paid tv content for $20?
- catshirt 14y agoseems they are completely aware they can get $200/m of paid tv content entirely free as well. which would actually suggest, despite your sarcasm, that no, it's not the reason.
- w1ntermute 14y agoI don't see how it's worth $200. After all, you can get unlimited TV shows on Netflix for $8/month.
- catshirt 14y ago$200 is arbitrary and i'm not even sure it matters. would $100 or $50 be a different argument? that said, your analogy does not consider: 1. netflix has an insufficient library 2. as you admit, torrents are available essentially the same time they air.
