Action : Streaming platforms introduced Ad supported tiers that are significantly cheaper than traditional plans.
Result : New Subscriber numbers have stagnated despite lower costs and increased marketing.
Survey data : Non Subscribers still cite price as their primary reason for not joining.
Paradox is that if non subscribers were truly only concerned about price , They should have flocked to the new cheaper plans.Since they didn't , There must be a reason why these specific low cost options are not considered a solution to their price problem.
A : If Non subscribers believe the cheap plans offer a broken or inferior product , lower price doesn't matter . They still want to join for a fair price , but they view the ad supported tier as poor value , effectively making it an unacceptable option.✅
B: This discusses existing viewers who are "sensitive to advertising".The paradox is about non subscribers who claim to be sensitive to price.❌
C: This discusses platform profitability , Discrepancy is about consumer behaviour(why they aren't signing up ).❌
D : This focusses ion habits of existing subscribers , Does nothing to explain why new people are refusing to join.❌
E : This mentions exclusive content for premium users on competing platforms . While this makes premium tiers more attractive .It doesn't explain why the cheaper tiers are more attractive.❌

Summary: even after lower cost ad-supported options and increased marketing, the no. of new subscribers is not increased. Why?
A. Many non-subscribers associate ad-supported streaming plans with low content quality or limited access, leading them to dismiss these options as poor value - May be a reason for not subscribing
B. Viewers who are highly sensitive to advertising often opt for more expensive, ad-free tiers rather than ad-supported ones - It may lead to increase in subscriber number. But No. is not increased
C. Ad-supported plans tend to generate lower revenue per user than ad-free plans, making them less profitable for the platform overall - It is not sought the reason for lower revenue per user, instead of no. of users. So Not correct
D. The average number of hours streamed per week has increased among existing subscribers, particularly in ad-supported tiers - Irrelevant
E. Several competing platforms have recently introduced exclusive content available only to premium (ad-free) subscribers - Irrelevant
