    :edit:
    actually, Netflix is a great example. They used to include everything in their sub fee, but once the powers that be realized the profit in splitting the two services, they removed features from the basic plan. You want streaming? $7.99. You want access to the DVD library? + $5.99
    the base price for streaming is 7.99. It used to include dvds. They axed that feature years ago and now charge an extra fee if you want both. If you search for something and it says something along the lines of "this is not included in the streaming service", you'll have to pay an extra fee to get access to their DVD library. You do not get access to everything under the basic streaming plan anymore.

    I understand what you're getting at. While I don't care for that much either, I am inclined to still disagree on the heart of the issue as there goes that whole physical tangible item thing again. You get complete access to the streaming library with a basic plan.

    People have been convinced it's a good thing to get charged extra for intangibles you're already paying for, but I'm not sure I can ever agree with that especially when it was not always that way. We know it's based on greed yet we still support it. When you're being sold literal colors and still like what you're being fed, what more can be said? I'm just glad nothing on the store appeals to me personally.
