I would pay for a retro gaming subscription that would give me access to over 1,000 games for $20 a month. Sega Genesis, Atari, Nintendo, Neo-Geo and so much more.

    I’d say I go to see a movie in an actual movie theater once a year, but the truth is I probably go half as often as that.

    It isn’t that I am not interested in movies, I just don’t see the value. I am supposed to pay for a ticket, concessions, and whatever goes into travel to the theater to watch a movie with a bunch of (probably annoying) strangers in a fairly gross environment?

    My guess is my annual box office contribution is approximately 0.5x the current ticket price.

    If, however, there was a $20/month subscription service which would let me watch new releases at home, I would subscribe.

    Even if it was relegated to expensive hardware, like an Apple Vision Pro, I would very likely buy the device and sign up for the subscription.

    $240/year would be a hell of a lot more revenue than my current $5.50/year—regardless of whether or not it would be exclusive to certain hardware or platforms.

    Honestly, my current TV and sound system may not be as impressive as a theater, but they are good and I’d take that experience over the modified bus depot experience of a public movie theater.

    groceries. it’s kind of a hassle going to the store every other week. It’s not like I’m gonna stop buying food, either.

      I’ve a Good news for you then you can achieve that for free. Since 2018 I’ve only seen ads only a handful of times and even that was because I was watching TV with my family on my sibling’s “smart TV”.

      My setup, unlockorigins on web browser and next DNS on phone, also instead of YouTube use newpipe or even better tubular (tubular is just a fork of newpipe with sponsor block) and I pirate all the movies and TV shows.
