What is the point of a paid service with ads? Its just really odd, like who has money for Netflix and whatever shit they are advertising? And everyone will resent these added ads on this platform, so why pay Netflix to make people hate your product.
What’s the point? They know customers are full of piss and wind, threatening blue murder while doing absolutely nothing beyond jaw flapping. (Same with gamers).
Amazon’s service model, for example, is to twiddle the knobs to just under the point where the majority ragequit: the sweet spot of maximum profit right now. Everyone else is copying it.
And the sweet spot moves - probably like boiling a frog. A major player does something many hate, but not everyone/enough and those people live with it. Then it becomes the new normal. Twiddle the knob. Rinse and repeat.

I mean, I get Amazon Prime via their shopping service whether I want it or not. And half of their “library” such that it exists is just links out to other paid premium services. Nevermind their Netflix-esque habit of cancelling or delaying popular shows while churning out lots of AI slop to fill in the gaps.
There’s no strong incentive to drop Prime Shipping (because it’s dirt cheap and I still do plenty of retail shopping on Amazon). But I find myself going to their TV / Movies selection less and less frequently. Occasionally just pirate the Amazon show I already have access to out of convenience.
Can’t say the same of Netflix, though. Cancelled that shit a few years ago. Barely anything left worth pirating from it anymore.

Cable got away with it until it didn’t.
Yeah and where is it now? Oh yeah in obscurity.
Specifically because we could binge watch without ads changing the vibe OR THE VOLUME
