    recently cited that 40 percent of all new sign-ups opt for ads

    yeah no, sorry. thats not an endorsement that people prefer ads, thats a testament to people being fucking broke. thanks for making their lives just a little but shittier though.

        People still want leisure in their life and that’s cheaper than most other forms of leisure. Just because someone’s broke doesn’t mean they will inherently not want easy access to entertainment.

        It’s a money grab. Our Netflix plan price didn’t change, but they added ads. I can pay extra to get the same service I used to get.

        They are just greedy for money and actively make the product worse instead of better. What better way than to encourage piracy.
