Everyone is complaining about movie theater prices. But, I'll also complain about streaming prices. I want to watch The Secret Agent and it's $9.99 to rent on Apple TV. It doesn't seem to make sense in comparison to month all-you-can-watch subscription prices.


never brought a streaming subscription to anything in my life and never will. been torrenting all my life from 2000s


Presumably, the business goal is to steer you toward (recurring) subscription rather than (one-off) pay-to-watch activities.


This is one thing I really despise about the streaming world. When rental stores were a thing you could grab older movies from the bargain bin to rest for $1 or less. Now all movies are the same price no matter if it's new or 30 years old.
