Ok, that’s exactly what I thought it meant. So why isn’t that good for the industry? Doesn’t that mean that they’re double-dipping?
It is. But the industry would rather have all of us subscribing because that’s a constant profit and they love constant profit. They’d rather have 100% subscribing and 0% buying than 10% subscribing and 100% buying.
