This is an odd comparison.

content that results in entertainment != content that results in health benefits

People regularly pay $50~$100/month for a gym membership so they're anchored against that.

Those "odd comparisons" are the exact thing that make companies like Peloton successful. Another word for that is "disruption"; when you're comparing two markets that don't make sense to compare, and yet here we are with an S-1.

Peloton is a cheap gym and an expensive Netflix, by reasonable comparisons. Damn is that a great business model.
