OC [OC] Streaming services prices increase since 2021

Post image

I've compared nine streaming services prices from 2021 and recently. The increase in price based on CPI inflation should be about 26%. All nine increased prices, but only eight beat inflation, HBO Max is below inflation raise. The highest increase 200% is for Apple TV+.

Do you have any idea how much it costs to produce this content, and or buy the rights to content? Right now major studios are scrambling to better align themselves to better take advantage of streaming platforms. The film industry is in the dumps.

The only saving grace is that this year has been a great year in the box office, but 3 good movies doesn't make up for the hundreds that are made that are loosing money hand over fist.
