I don't mind paying for things when the value proposition is there. Just in entertainment, the prices get skewed way outside value.
Here's a supporting example; my son wants to see Blue Beetle. I checked it out, and the rental is $20 - for a streamed "right to view" which means there is zero marginal cost for them to produce, track, or retrieve it. Even with recent inflation, you can get a restaurant meal for that.
