Isn't that price gouging? Isn't price gouging illegal?

It's not really price gouging. There's no particular supply/demand crisis to take advantage of. There's plenty of supply of streaming. Even free stuff enough for a lifetime, so it's completely voluntary to throw this or that amount at some greedy company testing the price limits.

The supply has been cut by the strikes. Viewers want new content, not old content.

They will have higher overhead from the writers demands, that cost is usually passed onto consumers
