    Why bother when you’re using a parent’s credit card? Why bother when you’re flush? $20/mo on a $20k income versus a $200k income creates very different incentives.

      Exactly. When i was younger i had this western digital thing that let me watch videos off a hard drive on my CRT TV. I pirated everything. Didnt have cable. This is pre streaming.

      I reached a point in my life where i was making enough money that a $20 sub was worth the conveniance.
