Yes, it is not that people can't afford these services (although some probably are in that boat) it is that people don't see the value in these services any more. The price has gone up and the quality has gone down. The content is not as good and the UI is increasingly user hostile.

No wonder people are going back to piracy, it's just better in every way.

Yeah, as before piracy (audio/video) was never primarily a cost issue, but an access issue.

Another example, even if I rent a movie online, I can't often get it in my language's audio or subtitle because of my region.

It is funny that the industry can't seem to get that.
