    Once their share of the popcorn market caps out they’ll lose the rights to all the good flavors and then raise the price.

      Or develop their own flavors in house like Cool Thousand Island and Wavy original flavor.

        Knowing Netflix and how their content quality has generally fallen in recent years, any new flavors will probably be like “Voluptuous Vomit” and “Dynamite Dog Shit”.

          It reminds me of those Harry Potter candy, like, Nosebleed Nougat, Puking Pastilles or Fainting Fancies.

          They’ll make an absolutely stellar flavor, then make a documentary about destroying the recipe.

    They’ll bring out a cheaper version after a while where you need to open a load of advertising packets around the popcorn before you can get to it

      They’ll start removing the flavors you like.

    Jellyfin popcorn is much cheaper. I just grab it from the farmer’s field while he’s not looking.

        No, you take from the bucket of seeds the farmer keeps stocked, and spend a bit of time getting it growing - the farmer occasionally pops by to correct your setup, but for the most part it dries and pops itself for you.

        If you want good flavors you have to season it yourself though.

    Comes with a free dildo if you don’t have a partner but wanted to Netflix and chill somehow.

      A branded dildo so one can get fucked yet again by Netflix?

      They’re the kind of brand that come out with a netflix and chill flavor that’s just mint flavored popcorn and it’ll be the only thing they dont cancel after the first couple batches.

    One of them is an actually limited resource and doesn’t need artifical exploitation rules. So sharing is allowed for it.

      What the hell makes you think they wouldn’t exploit it _regardless_of they thought they could get away with it? Diamonds are a limited but abundant resource and look how much the industry has inflated their price. Enough that if Russia decided to flood the market their entire bullshit business model would collapse. So if Netflix could somehow open enough of the popcorn industry then they would absolutely charge more for it. Any company would. That’s how capitalism is designed to work.

        As soon as you have bought the popcorn/ diamonds no one cares who is going to consume them as a movie snack. So you always will be allowed to share your popcorn/ diamonds with your peers without legal repercussions, which is my point.

        You are not wrong with the things you said. But I talked about virtual and real goods and the attached exploitation rules. And you talked about marketing and supply/ demand rules. And I fail to get the connection between those.

        Is it (the lack of) morality and opportunism on the supplier’s side? Help?
