If Streamers were smart, they'd lock pricing and change it for new signups.
Their problem is numbers retention. People would hesitate to cancel if their $8 plan would have to be 15/month or more to restart.
Moving everyone up, just pushes people to cancel, and they'll be even more unlikely to come back if prices keep going up
It's been a while since I do on and off, watch stuff that interest me on service X then cancel, watch stuff on service Y then cancel, and so on. There are just too many services to be subscribed to all.
Quality of content being the thing that keeps me.
