30$ monthly subscription rate + 5$ to rent each movie + 2$/hour for 4K. gotta make the business model as profitable as possible, otherwise the shareholders will start selling shares.

publicly traded companies are stupid.

Stop giving them ideas. I demand that you delete this, or I'll report you!

They already know this, look at take two studios, their ceo thinks we don't pay enough for games and we should be charged by the hours we play.

If they had their way all of our income would be theirs and we'd get a shiny token to watch one episode of a show you don't like.
