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
Considering there was another article saying that streaming services have no reason to not continuing increasing prices, I’m very fucking confused
This article is based on an Australian consumer study. So it might be just us that’s saying yeah nah fuck this while the rest of the world is still willing to pay.
We have a history of being very adept sailors, the early days of Netflix where a huge library of content was available on demand for a reasonable price meant it didn’t make sense to go to the trouble of taking to the seas because the legal alternative was a better experience. Now that the market is fragmented and you have to pay through the nose to have the same level of variety, it’s not surprising Australians are some of the first to jack up.
I would be interested to see if there had been a commensurate increase of ships on the high seas from Australia.
I’ve never subscribed to any streaming services but don’t we usually have a shitty selection of the content available in other places?
Well, the number of subscribers might shrink, but if the fee is a lot higher, overall revenue might be up
