The Amazon Prime model is the scummiest. At least Netflix doesn't bait you into a subscription just to then tell you actually the show you wanted to see costs even more.
To play devil’s advocate:
The Netflix equivalent of this is that the show just disappears (the Marvel shows) or you get the first seasons and not the last or even the last and not the first (at one time Prime had part of Lucifer and Netflix had the rest).
The only reason that it went from free to paid (instead of just disappearing) is that they lost the licence for streaming it under Prime Video but they didn’t lose the licence for selling it.
I doesn't really make a difference whether it was the actual platform or a higher decision; the end result is pissed off fans that turn to piracy instead of giving you money. Then those fans give you even less in the future. There will always be some that just say 'fuck it' and pay up, but it's diminishing returns.
This bullshit is exactly how pirates are born.
Why do they even have limited time licenses? This doesn’t happen for music streaming services.
The number of songs on places that are 'not available in my region' despite being saved previously when played might dispute that.
That's the main reason I switched to Navidrome and downloaded a ton of flacs. No one's stopping me from drinking whiskey in the bathtub listening to sad music during my monthly breakdown.
Because the IP holders don’t want to give out licenses in perpetuity. They want to renegotiate and increase the price.
Because music streaming services compete (for the most part) based on experience and features not content. This happened after the market plummeted for music sales. TV and movies are still in the stage where everyone is competing with content by having exclusives while their services suck dick with few features, horrible UX, and ads. Im sure at some point they'll go the route of music and games where youre not forced to sign up to a specific service to see a specific show, but who knows when that'll happen.
This was reality when Netflix was the only streaming service. We had that already and it devolved into what we have now
It was still the same back then, it was just done via network TV channels instead of streaming channels.
I mean, for Lucifer it made sense, since first three seasons were under Fox (and different licensing in different regions). God, I wish Netflix didn't "save" that show. At least it would have ended on a cliff hanger instead of a total destruction of the entire show. shakes fist angrily 4 years after the show has ended
There is a subset of shows and movies unavailable on a Netflix subscription with ads.
Yeah I was gonna say, aCtuAlLy Netflix does this shit too.
