Yeah, and in cases where there is a monopoly or quasi-monopoly of a product it becomes really exploitative.
But in this case in particular, I'm gonna have to say it's the fault of the users.
They chose to pay more for a worst product that had already been declining in quality steadily, when there are tons of other streaming services with good content.
I guess that is the fault of not being aware of alternatives, or brand royalty.
Average Users just want to be comfortable with watch they already have and don't want to hassle to learn new habits.
Disney simply chose to skip the voting and went straight to forbid password sharing. They are hoping for gaining new customers like Netflix .
