the netflix thing was the most idiotic, obnoxious bullshit i've ever seen -- really acting like using a website somewhere else was something THEY got to gatekeep and charge for. it's not like they had to mail DVDs somewhere else, like it was a physical cost.
If they provide a service(an easy-to use, legal platform) in a capitalist system they didn’t create, I can’t get mad at that. What’s fucking stupid are their assumptions about inelasticity of demand. People have free choices, and if you make the paid choice sufficiently onerous, you’ll lose customers. Natural consequences.
