Netflix is capped at $14/month. One may "lose" time or attention or gain many different emotional experiences they didn't want, yet I think their monetary spending is quite capped with Netflix compared to the lottery and other pay more to get more games.

Netflix cost is capped. People spend hundreds/month on lotteries.

True they don’t, that’s what the lottery does.
Netflix and the lottery sell different things at a similar price point. I’ve subscribed to both at various times.
Edit: it seems the comment I replied to was changed. It used to say approximately “Netflix doesn’t sell a dream to get rich”
Because that actually has zero upside potential and does not fund local nonprofit activities (like lottery often does, depending on your location).
