  Or… hear me out… they just make their products suck less and affordable.

    Especially suck less.

    If they sucked less, they’d have broader appeal, meaning more consumers so could potentially, maybe, not be so overpriced vs their value.

    Oh, who am I kidding? Hollywood has been a bunch of arrogant asshats forever.

      Studio heads with no film background make decisions based on spreadsheets. Those people shouldn’t be in the industry… yet they remain.

    Remember when Netflix first started raising prices claiming it was all going to go toward new content that people would be excited for? That was years ago now and we’ve seen additional increases, along with ads, and blocking account sharing and their content still sucks for the most part.

    Best we can do is charge you more. Monthly.

    One or the other. Quality tends to cost more money. Fast food is cheaper than fine dining, but you can tell the difference in quality.

    Problem is the Studios charge a lot for crap.

  Over the past two decades, online piracy has proven to be a massive challenge for the entertainment industries.

  Really?

    No, not really. Sales go up every year in legitimate sources. Piracy isn’t for the normies, they get to pay.

  Wow, I didn’t know Hollywood was so concerned about the Red Sea maritime traffic…

  Next time an artist makes a big deal about being ripped off I’m going to contrast “working hard and then getting ripped off” with “underregulated industry manipulating society for profit” and view them in a that light.

  “Please support a thing that degrades society, goes after defenseless small fry, and unnaturally suppresses culture… I have to feed my family.”
