What does surprise me is that people actually pay their own subscription for these platforms. Netflix had a win in profit/revenue. I’m surprised that these people did not go for the Piracy method even though, they complain about:

Most people don’t like change. Maybe they have a habit of switching on Netflix daily during dinner or something. There’s also a big “Netflix” button on their remotes and their TV’s homescreen, which serves as a constant reminder. They probably even have the app on their phones. All of this leads to mental conditioning, it’s now a part of their daily lives. Humans a a creature of habit, and it’s hard to break out of a routine ingrained over several years.

Piracy could be a option for some people, but it’s still either too technical, or not as convenient, for the average Joe. Sure, there are even websites you could go to, but most people won’t bother with that - they just want to hit the Netflix button and watch something, without needing to go to some website.

You’ll find that most people would prefer to choose the path of least resistance, even if it means paying (more) money. Don’t forget that even pirates pay money to make things easier - eg usenet/seedbox/debrid services users, and that’s simply because they too would prefer to take the path of least resistance, even if it means paying for pirated content. So it’s not too hard to imagine why normal people would just prefer to cough up the cash and continue with their lives, unchanged.
