This is so strange to me. I guess people enjoy being ripped off and getting less and less value for their money.

You can't trust people. People listen to Cold Play and voted for the Nazi Party.

What's wrong with Coldplay?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Nothing, I think the point is that people will listen to a band that may have left of center sensibilities (I don't know about Coldplay in particular) then vote the opposite. A great example is the video of the old white couple, wearing thin Blue line flags, dancing to Killing In The Name Of by Rage Against The Machine.

If you gave humanity the ultimatum that they can continue paying what they're currently paying, or subscribe to nothing for a year but be rewarded with the same price to access all movies and tv series ever created, via a single service, for the rest of their lives... I'm willing to bet more than 2/3 of the human population would cave and re-subscribe within a couple of months.
