See if it was like music, with a massive back catalogue available to everyone, you'd have four or five services competing on price. But it isn't. And it will suffer for that.

When using be in an if clause for an unreal conditional sentence, always conjugate it as were, no matter what the subject is. Even if the subject is first-person singular (I) or third-person singular (he, she, or it), still use were with an if clause in unreal conditional sentences.

If it was never cool, there's no need to extra uncool it now.

I don't think it can be made any more uncool than it already is

If it was possible, you could!

Aha! You're now expecting me to be bigger than myself, but I'm a very, very small person, therefore:

If it were* possible

I hope this is sarcasm. They weren't being a dick, just educating people, which is a good thing

*When using "be" in an "if" clause for an unreal conditional sentence

When referring to words, use quotation marks for clarity.
