    I cancelled Netflix once Trump got re-elected, should have done it earlier.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if in a year or two there won’t be any ad-free tiers at all (higher price gives you 4K and HDR, but you still get ads). You know, competition and shit.

    The year is 2035, the cost of my ad supported Netflix subscription is $135 per month per person in my household.

    Keep moving that goal post Netflix, so the numbers look good for investors.

          I mean I don’t agree with streaming services having ads, but this isn’t really some new thing.

          You’d pay 100+ a month for cable and be inundated with ads. Most of those 190 million “active” subscribers are either old enough that it’s basically just going back to the status quo or forgot they were subscribed etc.

    The streaming giant said Wednesday it now reaches more than 190 million monthly active viewers. The company defines MAVs as subscribers watching at least one minute of ads on Netflix per month, multiplied by how many people are watching in a given household

    So you’re guessing?
