If they separate all the features and charge for each of them, then money!
So as with all the other races to oblivion in our economy, sanctioned encouragedprivate shareholder mandated insatiable greed did it. Same with microtransactions in videogames, “upgrades” to check luggage and reasonably sized seats in airlines, shrinking portions in food service, etc.
It’s the smartest thing ever people should read about marketing tactics and schemes to get people to pay more money. The smallest thing can be locked behind a $5 increase and people are still going to buy it. It’s all about knowing your audience.

I strongly agree with this. In fact, just seek out a college level textbook. Here’s a free one. Its like having a secret decoder ring to a huge chunk of society you interact with daily. You’ll be able to quickly identify an advertising pitch, and identify why its appealing to you and if it is deceptive. You’ll also see the gaps as in “okay product A exists and product C exist, so product B probably does too. Now why am I not seeing that one?”. It also lets you see that you are sorted into a specific bucket because of your age, race, level of education, income, and geography. There are huge parts of marketing that you don’t see because those are for other market segments which you aren’t in.
I don’t think there should be a 4k tier. They should be tiered on ads and number of users. Why should quality be a tier?

Because it costs more to stream 4k content than lower quality content?
Not agreeing with it, but the justification is easy to make.
It costs inconsequentially more to host large files, sure, but the cost is usually on the consumer vis-à-vis their ISP to stream larger files.
You are wording this like you are disagreeing, while still agreeing with what I said.
