That's crazy pricing They might be doing this to try and find the limit that people will allow passively

There's maybe about it. Streaming was dirt cheap for so long people had everything u could and shared accounts with others.

Now they push the captured audiences as far as they can until subs seriously dip. We re not there not obviously. 

At this rate cable could probably get back in the race with an internet/cable bundle with the prices these streaming services are charging now

That’s because streaming started as an alternative revenue source. It didn’t have to be priced competitively because it was seen as extra money. Theater tickets, rentals, and cable TV still brought in the majority of revenue.

Now that streaming is becoming the primary revenue source, profits are disappearing. It’s not sustainable. Expect a resurgence in pay per view rather than all-you-can-watch.
