    It’s just greed.

    Any sustainable business would be finding ways to be more efficient, allowing them to lower retail cost.

    Take Amazon Web Services for example the unit price of every service trends down over time because they get more efficient delivering the service.

    They add new services for you to buy or lower the cost of existing services to entice higher usage.

    But media? Gobble gobble gobble.

      And if they’re hosting on one of these cloud platforms that is decreasing in cost, then they’re paying less for hosting and increasing their profit margin even without the subscription increases. I never made that connection before… Excellent comment.
