It is almost like the business models are adjusting to the reality of the world. With massive inequality, especially in a global market. And an "entitlement" that digital products should be free or dirt cheap. If you think about it it's sort of a wealth redestribution. One extreme example was that Movie ticket business, that basically paid movie tickets with investor money.

This presumes the whales can afford to spend the way they do. Which isn’t true for gambling addicts either. And that the profits end up in the hands of workers rather than in the pockets of investors.
