Is NFL+ using a dirty tactic to increase memberships?

I have attempted to watch games on NFL+.  During each game I received a message that read, “ in order to continue watching the rest of this broadcast, you must enroll in the NFL plus for a per month charge.”

To me this is dirty it makes me mad. It makes me not want to enroll in NFL plus because of dirty tactics.

I think NFL plus executives must think that once you get engrossed in the game you’ll want to enroll just to finish watching the game. It’s like a drug deal give victims free drugs until they’re addicted and then start charging them. This is the best analogy that I can think of that NFL plus it’s using.

What NFL+ should have done is either notify immediately, there is a charge for the service or notify you immediately that the first 30 minutes are free.  Instead, they allow you to watch for 30 minutes and then cut off the game until payment is made.

my question is, how many people think this is okay?

Lots and lots of dirty little tricks that big companies can legally bully you with.

To me, putting ads on stupid stuff like YouTube and Hulu does not add value to any of the companies placing that ad, but only encourages users to spend more money to not have to see the useless ads in the first place.

This is a completely asinine take. Literally billions of dollars are spent every year on video advertising. This includes practically all of the NFL's revenue, which is primarily on network TV with no subscriptions. To say it has no value to the companies is completely wrong and is disagreed upon by practically every industry.

If you want to make this argument for stadium names, I would agree. It's all about message though. Just putting your name on something is not allowing you to control your message at all so it is next to worthless. A video commercial is the complete opposite though.

It's not really that asinine. Besides the person saying "to me" which yknow, means in their opinion or experience or whatever, I think it's really easy to see that advertisements have needed a new trick for a while now.

      Taking on Watson contract if the compensation is right

      By rayzor · Posted

      Would it be possible to do that trade without us getting Watson?

      I'd be willing to cede everything east of Hickory to SC if I'm being honest.

      Stop the obsession with the QB position

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      A look at all the QBs making championships over the past 35 years says it's not 1st round QB driven. There are only 64 championship QBs, and this includes Jake Delhomme, Kurt Warner, Case Keenum, Tom Brady, Nick Foles, Mark Rypien, Eric Kramer, Brock Purdy, Rich Gannon, Brad Johnson, Russell Wilson and more non 1st round QBs. 5 of these QBs went to a championship in the past 10 seasons. 3 of the 5 won how many of the past 10 SBs? Foles beat Brady. Mahomes and Brady have won 7 of the past 10 SBs. Mahomes walked into a ready made contender. The other 3 are Foles, Manning and Stafford. We know Manning did nothing. It was defense. Stafford managed a defensive game. Foles beat Manning in an offensive shootout. Keep in mind Manning and Stafford were not drafted in the 1st round for the team that won the SB. The Rams have drafted how many 1st round picks in the past 8 years? The Broncos only drafted defense in the 1st round for 5 straight years leading up to their SB, and that's what stopped Cam. Any QB game manager can get you to the playoffs. OL, running game, defense and coaching carry the load during the season. Clutch QBs are needed in the playoffs to get to the championship games, and there is nothing favoring a 1st round QB being clutch over all other QBs. Never draft a QB in the top 20 picks unless they have a professional sports pedigree! If you need a QB it's simple competition and steady flow of a QB type (physicality/talent is not a deciding factor for champions). Sticking to a competitive strategy that filters out QBs who are high TO% and low clutch performance will always work. You're always looking for the one who refuses to give up the starting spot by feeling momentum, showing high situational preparedness, and knowing when to take risks. Top 20 picks should be defense with few exceptions. If you want offense, trade down to get more picks for defense and OL. There should always be a 4 QB rotation (3 roster and 1 practice squad) on the depth chart until 1 has held onto the starting spot for 34 games. Then go to 2 QBs on the roster. Patience in this process is key. There will never be a QB allowed to fail for more than 5 straight games for the myth of long term development. This QB strategy results in hitting on a franchise QB within 3 seasons while building a strong defense and deep OL. The defining factor of success for an NFL Franchise has been the HC/GM combos who have studied, mastered and implemented Bill Walsh's book together. The Panthers franchise appears to be no where near this championship strategy or philosophy. Butting heads over philosophy and mixed/inconsistent strategies have been the constant since Tepper took over.
