You are arguing that if they make less profit, then they won't make media at all which isn't true.

Buddy, you're the one that said "or they make nothing at all" , not me.

You really should study basic economics.

For the third time, none of this has anything to do with economics, basic or otherwise.

It's sad watching you laugh and dismiss facts because they describe how you're being taken advantage of.

It's sad watching you struggle with the difference between not paying for something and choosing to steal it. It's sad watching you poorly try to justify crimes because, in your opinion, it's too expensive. I'm not being taken advantage of. I pay what I think the service is worth, and when it fails to meet that value proposition, I simply don't watch it...

Typically, personally, I will subscribe to a service for a month or 2 at a time because by that time I have consumed everything interesting that it has to offer.

Lol, Mark Twain was right.

Anyways, it's your money. Spend it how you want. :)
