You missed my point. 200 will pay $5 and only 30 will pay $50. Prices and numbers vary, this is just an example.

Content producers are in business to maximise the return dollar on content. So they keep themselves in business. Not sell it for a lot less, at a high price to keep you in business.

If 50 would pay $50. We would sell it at $50. Another example.

Sponsors dictate the price. Or would you like all content producers to lose money so a couple of big companies, like yourself, could dominate the the market?
