Tighten the straps, then tighten the screws. Repeat.
Does it seem like all business models are the same nowadays?
I mean, it works. Why would anyone do anything different?
It's the sort of model that works untill it doesn't.
And the metric to know how well it works is piracy. Because Netflix don't release numbers for subscription cancellations. The more piracy goes up, the more people can be said to be leaving the paid subscription streaming service.
Piracy, it's a service issue.
After we return back to pre-netflix-heyday piracy levels, all streaming services will slowly be relegated to the same status cable companies occupy today.
This is the greatest shame in all of this.
The line must go up!
