Plastik posted:A mall is not cheap to run, and a properly-functioning mall gives a built-in customer base for most businesses. The extra cost is worth it if you can swing it in a mall that works. But even in a nonfunctional mall, they have to pay for all the common space, but spread over fewer tenants, so it's not going to be cheap. Just hearing and cooling the common areas is vastly expensive. Theres a reason outlet malls are open air.

OneEightHundred posted:A huge problem facing cinema is the growth of other at-home media competing for attention, specifically video games and the recent wave of high-quality TV. Eh. At least for myself, I'd rather go to the theater the 4-5 new movies a year that are remotely interesting than buy a grand worth of home theater gear that's just going to annoy my neighbors. Sodomy Hussein posted:I feel like piracy grew out of the Netflixless late 90's and early 2000's, and the remainder of people still pirating anything today are broke dorks of the sort who pretend DVD rips are fine. Piracy's making a comeback because it now takes 9 different monthly streaming services to have access to everything and even then there is stuff that just plain isn't on any streaming platform. When you, for some godawful reason, want to watch Mean Guns at 3am there's no place to do so legally. Liquid Communism fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Feb 27, 2020 |

Just in case you thought online retail was any better, online flea market Etsy has decided to gouge away to get those sweet year-on-year profit numbers up.https://www.etsy.com/seller-handbook/article/introducing-etsys-risk-free-advertising/729663416588 posted:On Etsy, there’s a world of opportunity available to you. Millions of shoppers come to Etsy looking for items like yours and running your business here is the only way to reach them. What does this mean in practice? Etsy runs ads on major sites for your store on an opt out basis, with stores doing more than $10k a year not allowed to opt out. If a buyer clicks on one of those ads, and buys from you within the next 30 days, Etsy charges you at 15% premium on the sale on top of the 10% they already collect. For those required to join, that fee is reduced to 12%. Note the adserv for this includes Google Shopping, so if someone googles the name of your Etsy store the first few hits at top of page are all going to be ads though this program. Gotta love capitalism. Any time something works, it's time to crank up the monetization to make the shareholders erect.
