Gee, I wonder if that's got anything to do with the extreme enshittification the industry is seeing. It's almost as though younger people are less likely to be able to afford increasingly expensive luxuries right now.

turns out the streaming industry was purely based on stock investment AKA vibes about what the future might bring.
Product claims to be the future -> Lot's of investment -> Product is dirt cheap and great -> doesn't turn a profit ever -> loses investors -> gets enshitified -> less users -> less investment -> dies
repeat

Ah, yes. The "disrupter" business model led to new market entrants who once stablished, become the new enshittification / price scalping vampires.

If I want to follow a few shows, I have to switch among, at least, three different streaming services, each one having a sub of no less than 10€. And in many cases, I have to deal with fragmented shows that are scattered among several services.
Meanwhile, the seven seas offer a free or extremely low-cost alternative in which I can watch everything without restrictions and with an even better UI than many services.
Add that the economy nowadays make people fear an unexpected 100€ expense because it would mean you can't eat that month. And they are surprised that customer count is falling?

No way they're all pirating. I fear that it may be Instagram or tiktok they're spending their time with

I think if valve just decided to start selling movies and shows on Steam like they do with games, they’d win.
