In addition to what I said, I will fully understand if I’m actually completely wrong, too.
What I mean is...I shouldn’t assume that these companies haven’t already made these calculations in relation to the long term picture. For example, perhaps the MLB has run the math and knows that going for broad appeal (e.g. games streamed/broadcast for free) is inefficient or results in lower revenue. Perhaps cable companies have already calculated that they will bleed customers no matter what they do; that they’re best off milking their customer base until they disappear.
