What’s so ironic is that this proved that piracy is not simply something consumers just do. The main driving force is companies trying to extract the maximum amount of profit for less and less product.
Yet, you can bet that causes of piracy will be put on those “evil” consumers once again.
It’s the same with ads. I wouldn’t mind seeing ads if it was reasonable, and not whatever the fuck the internet without ad-blocker is.
I wouldn’t mind all the platforms if they sticked to the initial $5/Mo, but now all of them want +$10/Mo and they include ads
The CEO of Disney recently said that they’re actively trying to price people out of the ad-free subscriptions. Once they introduced ads to a paid service, it was game over for the consumers. Kind of reminds me of what happened with cable TV back in the day.
