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

Yes. The price of a good or service is essentially as high as possible to maximize profit. If people would buy Netflix for $90 a month then Netflix should charge $90 a month.

Yeah I mean if the price of something gets to high...just steal it. Amirite?

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.

Take a victory lap.

When you go to sell your house or car be sure to price it much less than what the market price for it is. I'm sure you will do that.

Do you apply this same thought process to something like big pharma? You know when US tax payer dollars are given as grants to colleges for R&D for drugs then a pharma company buys it and makes it way expensive?

Crony Capitalism is real

My biggest beef is with ESPN. I don't care about Sunday Ticket since Chiefs are on locally via OTA almost every non primetime game. I just cancelled DirecTV Stream since the cost has gotten out of hand and I rarely watch live TV except for football.

Figured I'd just get ESPN+ but found out their own streaming service doesn't stream most of the MNF games. Only way to get MNF is with a cable/streaming package that has the ESPN channel. NFL+ seems to be the only option but it's only on mobile or tablet it appears.

It's perfectly acceptable for insulin to cost 1000 dollars a vial bro think of the shareholders.

LoneWolf, is it "stealing" if I don't pay for any of the streaming services but watch all the games at my local sports bar?

Yeah, that bar paid the Sunday Ticket or cable price or whatever, but by offering the games for free, they're stealing dozens of customers that would otherwise be paying for this service, right?

Hell, it's even worse. They're using the NFL to gain customers and make money, and the NFL isn't getting a single cent of commission per customer that walks in that door. All the bar does is pay the flat rate for Sunday Ticket or whatever it is they use.

You "stole" that view is such a weird concept.

"You're not allowed to look, that's stealing!".

It goes right along with where tech is right now, everything is "intellectual property" and they don't want you to ever own the good just be allowed to use it.

I should be able to steal it.

With what you spend on subs, you should maybe cut back and try reading a book. Maybe even a comic book to get started.

It will help with your overall education but probably not because you’re pretty much a ****ing tard.
