(and I swear they keep adding more advertisements to the shows each time I watch them). They do let you watch earlier seasons of shows, but that seems like Netflix would be a better option for that. So what&apos;s the real draw Gabriel has for subscribing?</text></comment>

Of course they&apos;re all &apos;regular&apos; people, i.e. not working in the tech field, and with &apos;modal&apos; incomes, so not always buying the latest gadgets (phones etc).&lt;p&gt;Of course there are plenty of businesses doing fine selling online services. It&apos;s just that it seems to be to an audience that I cannot find off line. Is it a European thing? It it possible to target the (mainstream) B2C market in Europe with online services yet? Anyone with experiences in this field?</text></comment>
