It's obvious that $8/month for unlimited access to all TV and/or movie content ever created ever just isn't an economic reality. So, how much would you pay on-top of your $8/month Netflix subscription (assuming you have it in your country) for access to new releases? Would you pay another $8 a month? Maybe $12 so it's a round $20 total? Would you pay $5 to rent a new movie if it could then easily be streaming through Netflix on one of eleventy kazillion devices? What would you be willing to pay?

I would gladly pay the ~$100/month required for decent cable (as in, not basic) to have complete access to all the latest TV shows on-demand. Charge ~$10 extra for Netflix-like access to movies and HBO-level shows. With the current market, I would pay ~$100 for thousands of hours of content I would never watch, and the shows I do want to watch I'd have to timeshift anyway because I'm busy. That's why I cancelled it, I was paying for an abundance of content I never watched, and the content I did want, I had to download or buy separately. Of course, this will never happen because production studios want their own little silos.

I'd even pay 50$/month for that kind of system (and I'm a student). But I don't think I'm in the majority.

I'm from the third world. I'd gladly pay double even triple of what you pay for a monthly Netflix subscription if only it was available.

I'm living in Germany. Here, for non-dubbed, easily accessible (on-demand access on every device) and rich (all popular shows, movies and then some) content, I'd gladly pay 100€/month. I hate having to use VPNs to make it look like I'm in the US to receive crappy service.

Netflix isn't compatible with Linux.

I'd prefer buying a downloadable file.maybe 5~20 bucks for a movie. not a fan of streaming services charging per month.
