   For people who think that streaming services are overpriced--how much do you think that having access to a fifth of all shows and movies made in the #USA should cost?

     @realcaseyrollins “How much should it cost” is a difficult question to answer from a consumer standpoint, because the perceived valued can be entirely different from the cost of producing the goods. A company has to make a profit, but a consumer is free to say “it’s not worth it for me”. It’s then up to the business to solve that issue, or go under if it can’t.

     @realcaseyrollins For example I don’t mind paying for YouTube premium because the benefits I’m getting are worth it to me, but I hear very positive voices about YouTube premium.

     @brian True. But I think "that's not worth it to me" and "that's costs too much money" are two different things. When #Netflix streaming first came out I thought it was preposterous that it cost so little for what you end up getting.

     People complain about streaming prices all the time but they still have #Netflix, so it's definitely worth it to them.
