Dumb headline:

  • premium ad free didnae exist in cable
  • Greedy bastards in Hollywood got greedier: The method of delivery is not the reason, just the excuse.
  • The fact that some of us let all these media companies create their own service and demand the streaming infra pricetags is part of the problem. If Americans refused to jump ship for Friends and Marvel and whatever else, we might actually just have Hulu and Netflix and the infra costs would be be lower. Instead people flocked to greedy Dickney et al and got screwed in the process. This is not an attempt to claim Netflix or Hulu wouldnae have triez to raise rates, just to point 　out that their argument to do so would have been harder.
