I find it hard to justify, for example, Netflix current price for streaming movies; considering new releases can be rented for a $1.00 per day at Publix. I would pay nothing extra, even for new releases. Most movies are junk, made for the teenage audience. My viewing experience finds a good movie about once every 5 years or more. Hollywood is void of worthwhile movies; I have no desire to pay for Hollywood’ crap; regardless of distribution method.
