Time for the Movie industry to move to the Patreon model. They have more than enough fans to support them. Why can't i watch a movie in the app of my convenience (e.g. Popcorn Time) and still be able to pay for it? Why is there no such "virtual ticket" option. I know they want to package their products in specific ways, but they demand that the entire internet infrastructure bends to match their favourite way and that's just insanely egocentric. Hollywood is not the center of the universe anymore.

because almost no one pays in a patreon model.

i m not sure if someone has worked out the economics. Billions can pirate a movie, yet many millions pay netflix etc. How much does a movie play cost on netflix.

Billions pirate a movie, yet they still recoup the production costs somehow because they aren't anywhere near going bankrupt.
