$702 more is relative and tells nothing without the basis. It's 61% increase in 5 years.

So in real terms it's up 26%. Which of course is to be expected, people have a set amount they are willing to spend on entertainment, in the past it was cable -- in 2015 the average US cable TV subscription was about $100, that's about $140 today in real terms, or $1700 a year.

Seems that streamers have a long way to go before they extract all that money.
