    Is there any reason why you’re being anti-consumer and anti-user by being facetious, or was that just a bit of contrarian pretention?

      No I’m actually extremely pro consumer; stop supporting abusive companies and go find alternative means of obtaining whatever it is you want to watch.

        “I’m want Apple to keep it’s walled garden to spite the publishers”.

        That’s you. Yes, it does sound that dumb.

          That’s a disingenuous statement. You could always subscribe to Netflix outside of Apple.

          Apple isn’t the only only digital store that charges fees. Don’t hear anyone bitching about Steam.

      Is there a reason you’re being a sesquipedalian? Netflix profits are up over 50% since the start of the year - and this is with Apple taking their piece of the pie.

      Do you think Netflix will lower their prices after they remove legacy pricing from the Apple Store? I own Netflix stock, so by all means, blame Apple.
