    How has HBO been consistently $15 a month for decades it seems, and now suddenly this model requires everyone to hike their prices to hell and back? I think I would be willing to believe that $15/mo is the magic number, except that everyone is rocketing past that now. Now it’s just garbage corporations turning a quick buck for executives and shareholders, as subscribers we aren’t getting any more for our money - there’s no feature release or massive influx of content. What a shit system we have.
