RE: Apple TV+ Subscription Price Goes Up & Competition In Streaming Continues

Strategy, I believe, is very cogent in being successful. AppleTV+ may not be all about how to beat Netflix, or Paramount+, or Disney+, in their meetings. But for a fact that they take customer experience as the top of their priorities proves they know what they're doing.
When revenues alone become the centre of attention, many things tend to fall by the wayside, thereby allowing for stunted growth eventually.
Netflix is a big boy, however, they are making a whole lot of shitty content lately. And it just seems they care so little about optimal customer experience.
I am not much of an Apple user. But with a TV show like SEE, which is arguably one of the best series this year, especially with their banger third season (a perfect ending, if you ask me), they know it's not about speed (quantity) but about strength (quality).
I think anything less than $8 is fine for a streaming service. With the varying price rates, weight of bills vary everywhere. $15 is an insane amount over here, considering the usage of multiple streaming services by many.
When you start adding up streaming services, the monthly amount can be substantial.
In-App purchases and loot boxes ruined gaming, games become substandard, free is obviously not sustainable, maybe subscription is the happy middle ground? Still have to pick and choose!
Free can never be sustainable. And so, the service providers had to stick with subscription services as the in-app purchases weren't doing the trick. Yet, I believe moderation is key to lasting success. You don't want to scare people off with exorbitant charges.
Good thing is we have Hive and communities like CineTV. Hive people can blog about their movie and tv show experiences and cover the subscription fees.
