It would be like losing $25 if you made $140. Still a significant loss and a loss none the less. They seem to have the least appealing shoes out of any subscription service in my opinion

I mean, I agree 1 billion is a lot of money, but if they're trying to really grab viewers and keep them, I think they have to make it a worthy proposition and they started waaaaay behind the other streaming services, who have had a lot longer to collect a worthy back catalogue of content.

They've had a number of shockingly good shows too, though. Like if you have missed any of these, you've missed out a bit, IMHO.

  • Ted Lasso
  • Shrinking
  • Silo
  • Slow Horses
  • For All Mankind
  • The Morning Show
  • Severance

You only lose money if the customer would have paid for it otherwise.
