There's a phrase that's popular in business consultant circles, "How easy are you to buy from?" The more barriers you erect between you and paying customers, the less likely you are to sell.

If you ran a cable network that produced original programming, the smartest thing you could do would be to entice people to subscribe to the entire network in order to watch the shows they love. HBO did it with Sopranos, they're doing it with Game of Thrones, and it's working. I realize that people think they automatically know what's best practice for companies, but the people who work for these companies are not as stupid as message boards would make you believe. The problem with the strip remainds the concept that personal accountability never comes into it. It's a matter of "I want" and not much else.
