Hey David, I think my current budget is too tight to afford the current price.
That said, I still have free HBO through my AT&T internet, despite moving 3 months ago and being told I would lose access as that promotion nis longer being offered.
For the past year we've been jumping around subscription services, only paying for one at a time while we watch whatever it is we're looking to catch up on.
Also, building up a Jellyfish library on the side.
Exactly this. Netflix was made successful because it was so cheap people could forget about it. 8 a month? Could pay for 5 years and never notice it. Raising prices makes people notice how expensive it is, and people start rotating subscriptions. If HBOs price was lower they'd get a lot more subscribers, most would forget, and they'd have long running revenue. But I'm sure he's way smarter than us and went to business school
