BertramDitore@lemmy.world 8 months agoI don’t like doing it, and I would be thrilled to throw my money at a single service that allows me to stream anything I want at high bitrate 4K. I’d actually be willing to pay a pretty high premium for that. Money is not the issue, it’s the quality of service. I genuinely wish there was a way to pay for a service that benefitted the film industry while providing a quality service to me. Until that’s the case, I’ll continue sailing on a ship that gives me the highest-possible quality content.

Hell yeah. I’d pay $300 a month if they provide everything over 6 months old and never take shit out of the catalog.
I’d be super happy not to have to maintain my own catalogs.

Yo man let’s not go crazy, $300 a year would be on the high end of acceptable for that. The costs to keep more data available when you own the licenses are quite low as a percentage of total operations, so keeping old content up should be the norm instead of something to be lauded. You don’t get a cookie for base competency.

Oh, I’d be willing to pay less. If you have full cable, balls to the wall and most of the streaming services you could get up around that range. It’s ridiculous amount a month to pay for entertainment. But if you look at what you get for that, It’s a 300 lb turd with a couple of gems here and there. If they all put their licensing catalogs together in one place they could probably make a hell of a lot more money than trying to nickel and dime everybody individually.
