You mean constantly bumping the prices for lower quality content is causing subscription numbers to go down? No way… Who could have thought that? /s
To be fair, I’m spending more on VPN’s and HDD space…
I find the age data really interesting here. Millenials went in hard and then bailed hard.
Probably because they grew up on the high seas, then found a more legal and convenient alternative, only to see it turn to shit. Old habits die hard.
The moment we learnt how to wear the skull n bones hat, it was tattooed into our brain.
We grew up from Napster, Limewire, edonkey, mIRC bots, mega upload, torrents… The list goes on. It was intoxicating the feeling of finding the newest, more reliable, faster, better way of pirating. We never forgot. But we started living on land because it was easier.
So once the land living came with advertising, and 15 different taxes wanting a cut…
The hesitation to set sail once again never existed.
We’ve gone full circle. When streaming became mainstream I was on board. At one point I had 4 simultaneous streaming subscriptions; I now have 0.
These people found the breaking point and leapt right past it. I pay a fair price for video games, ebooks, music, and software. There is nowhere that offers a fair price for films and TV shows.
we had Netflix, Amazon, Disney and Binge for nearly a year simultaneously.
Binge just hit us with a 20%+ price increase so its gone. Amazon is likely to stay as the video is just an added bonus. We watch netflix and disney a lot but any silly increases and they can say good bye too. I guess its only a matter of time
