Happy Friday…and Happy Spring! We made it through the week and through the winter! In this week’s subscription headlines, Amazon Prime Video Direct plans to cut royalties for not-so-engaging content, Vice Media seeks $200 million in funding to become profitable, and Facebook’s data deals are under investigation. Also this week, Gimlet Media plans to unionize, AT&T jacks up pricing for DirectTV Now, and HTC’s Viveport Infinity VR subscription will launch on April 2, no fooling.
