        I think I’d rather pay $20 a month for unlimited movies instead of like $10 every time. Heck, even at $5 a pop it would still save me money compared to the sub. If we’re talking about a product we don’t need or use on a recurring basis I totally agree subscriptions are not optimal but in this instance i think consumers are getting a fantastic value.

      I don’t want to have to subscribe to every facet of my life. If literally everything is a subscription, monthly costs build up fast. I just want to be able to pay for something normally.

          There aren’t 2 new movies I care to see a month most months, honestly there’s barely 1. Having to keep constant track of 20+ subscription services to evaluate whether they’re actually worth the money (especially when prices constantly fluctuate) is exhausting. 90% of content that appeals to me is on streaming platforms first these days, and most of it is longer form than a movie.
