100/month can be A LOT depending on where you live.

Only referring to the US here as I’m not sure of pricing in the hundreds of other countries out there.

You said that you struggle to see how these platforms don't provide massive value which is fair from your point of view but I personally struggle to see how any of the platforms provide 5€/month worth of value, let alone 10 or 20.

I guess it's a matter of perspective and what do we find valuable in life.

As for tipping, that's a can of worms I'm not going to open because as a european I find the whole concept insane.

You struggle to see how Netflix provides five Euros a month in value. I… ok.

Yes. There’s Netflix set up on the tv at my home. I don’t pay for it and I watched < 10 hours of content in the last 3 years.

That’s definitely not worth 5€/month for me.

Not saying it’s not worth it for everyone, just saying the value streaming services provide is not all that absolute.
