    It’s not that they don’t want to pay for a subscription.

    People don’t want to pay for 1000 subscriptions. That’s the problem. Every company wants their hands on passive income because that’s the new standard for their investors.

    The market showed via the old Netflix model that people are willing to pay so long as they have everything they want. When fragmentation or vendor locking happens, you get more piracy and more people installing AdBlock, which hurts everyone. Companies started this. Not users. If they banded together and made a platform where people could pay once and then content providers would get paid per click, this would all be over.

    But this will never happen because it’s anti-investor.
