This is a good lesson for those whose business plans included the words "the Netflix for educational resources." Netflix doesn't last. "The Netflix model was great for viewers, but it couldn't last. The content creators got greedy and scared, and now they're determined to drag things back to the bad old ways. They will force everyone to pay for everything separately, and the subscriber base will split... which means that subscriptions will rise. Make no mistake: we're the ones likely to get stiffed here."
