It doesn't seem you understood we talk about movies and tv shows, not some customer app solving... problems?

Puzzling comment overall, will refrain from usual tropes and assume in good faith its 'lost in translation'.

Not talking about movies or apps, but a general observation on the dynamics of free v paid, from both, the supply & demand sides.

  As counterproductive as putting prices up feels, charging $20 for VEED brought in a different and more serious type of user, they need the product and they are happy to pay for it and have different needs to the $5 users we originally had. Things started looking up for the first time in ages.
