We're including greedy as **** corporations, too, right?

Yes man watching that illegal stream makes you a terrible person that has no morals.

Never called anyone a terrible person. Please pay attention to the bolded part.

Is it morally right for the NFL or really any company to continue to raise the price of a product that doesn't increase in quality or quantity?

I mean shit this is the Netflix business model, lose content, create worse content, raise prices.

Comparable to risking lives by letting your mate drink drive apparently.

Same thing happens in the insurance world even though its not theft. States force companies with a large PIF (policies in force) to insure certain unprofitable customers at the expense of the others. For every action there is a reaction.


Lol there it is.

YOU WOULDN’T DOWNLOAD A CAR

It shits me to no end when people blindy defend paying increasingly ridiculous amounts for a worsening product.

Weird flex. But I'm sure the view is nice from way up on that horse.

It makes no sense...

If a company like for example my power company can just arbitrarily raise my rates because they feel like it when it's not like I can switch to another one...there is no competition for this. For no other purpose than to increase revenue for shareholders, then rest assured if I can find a way to get the same thing for less I will do it.

Just funny how they are perfectly fine price gouging people but people who retaliate are the bad ones.

Is raising the prices on a product people are willing to pay for that they have the choice to not pay for morally corrupt? Everyone would be much happier if they would keep this in their brain: Corporations exist for one reason and one reason only, to make money. Our capitalist system affords us ways to affect prices by "voting" with our business. Don't like the price of a product, don't "vote" for that product by purchasing it, but don't actively steal it and drive prices further upward for those that do enjoy the product.

The NFL should start a "don't be morally bankrupt" campaign against illegal streaming while they sign another billion dollar deal with Hulu or whatever.

Sounds like a great comedy skit.

And people who somehow see no issue with it are part of the reason why it's possible to ream the customer like that in the first place.

Honesty one of the oddest forms of moral grandstanding.

They are not losing money because people are streaming.....I would bet anything if they took away illegal streams those people would not pay for any of the services. The NFL would lose them as fans and would overall lose money from that.

But don't tell me a league that makes billions on tv contracts is losing money because of illegal streamers.

We call this worshipping at the altar of capitalism, lots of people do it.

Go back and watch past NFL games and tell me the product is worse in quality and their are more games on television now than there ever has been.

Gee, I wonder why Netflix is raising prices. I wonder if it has anything to do with how many people share their accounts with friends and family?

And as they crack down on that..they'll lose watches as opposed to gaining new subscriptions.

This idea that you must have infinite growth is why stupid shit like this happens.
