The point is that the company has to be profitable. It’s not complicated. The point of companies is to be profitable. If they’re not profitable, they cease to exist, which isn’t good for anyone. Those are the only options they have: become profitable or cease to exist. I know you people like to think money is just conjured into existence with magic but that’s not the way anything works.

you didn’t manage to reply to any of the arguments above. You just spitted out some basic principles which all of us are aware of. I don’t understand even why you bothered to type these since they also don’t offer anything valuable in the conversation

  Maybe “aware of” but have clearly demonstrated that you don’t understand.
  
  Listen, it’s really an irrelevant point. It doesn’t matter if they’re a fucking Fortune 100 company charging $500/mo, nothing about that entitles you to the content they produce.
  
  It’s not food, it’s not healthcare, it’s not shelter, you’re not being deprived of any sort of necessity, it’s entertainment. Too expensive? Don’t fuckin buy it.
