Doesn’t surprise me. Their original content ain’t cheap to produce, and I’m sure the licensing fees for premier movies must be expensive.
Oddly enough, if there is a potential fix, it might be having the company that created binge watching going retro and (gasp) releasing their shows on a *weekly* basis:

Payback is a bitch. The Sears mail order catalog was the Amazon of its day. Ask the folks at the general store.Doog_de_Jour said:

Here’s a great archive of some of the past catalogs - some of them are pretty hysterical:

I remember coming of age during the tail end of the Sears catalog era and, uh, finding some alone time with the underwear section. Contrast that with my son, who will probably jerk off for the first time to an 8K VR video of Germans fisting and shitting on each other that he'll accidentally stumble upon while doing a search for monarch butterflies for a school project.

Local VHS rental stores got killed by Blockbuster. Blockbuster got killed by Netflix. Disney + Hulu + AP killed Neflix.
Standard TV got killed by cable. Netflix killed cable. Disney + Hulu + AP killed Neflix.
Cycle of life and shit.
In other news, Amazon and Disney (which owns most of Hulu btw) will own the entire world soon.
