My point is that they will make less profit if they are forced to.

Yeah, you said that already. I'm still not understanding what that has to do with this discussion.

People just need to have higher standards, which you are proving they don't.

LOL what? Please do elaborate

I’m still not understanding what that has to do with this discussion.

I can tell. It's in response to your hyperbole, "Is it your hope that they will stop producing media for you to watch?" You are arguing that if they make less profit, then they won't make media at all which isn't true.

Is it your hope that they will stop producing media for you to watch?

If people had higher standards for what they spend their money on, businesses would have to meet those standards or go out of business. They can, they would just make less profit.

That means more money for you and me.

You really should study basic economics. It's sad watching you laugh and dismiss facts because they describe how you're being taken advantage of.

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. :)
