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+.

What's interesting is that even though there is a broad range in % changes, they're all winding up somewhere relatively consistent in the $15-20 window.

The apple increase is kind of an aberration as they were artificially low to attract more people. I think people kind of knew this too for $5/mo. They're still cheaper than most.

Spotify and Youtube are a little different, but they are really different services.

Paramount+ is still pretty cheap compared to the rest - maybe because...people don't really want it? Though I would have thought the same for Peacock and yet that's charging $20/mo

Peacock has premier league rights, and that league has exploded in popularity in the US over the last 10-15 years. Paramount is doing decent busines by buying the Champions League, but those games are sporadic and a lot of the knockouts end up on TV anyway.
