How does that explain the cable industry?


IMO, that's the same problem as paying $50 plus for a console or pc game, but refusing to pay for apps on your phone.


Consumer education and product refinement.

Notice how cord cutting has accelerated as people realize a) cable is far more expensive than the value they get out of it and b) the experience with Netflix, Amazon, etc has improved and new players have arrived (MLB, HBO Go).
