I think this marks the beginning of the end for Netflix (if their declining user base didn’t already mark that.)
Remove the ads and you then have storyline peaks and troughs which are not needed, which will break the immersion, leading to a worse outcome.
As far as I understood Netflix revenue moves according to the season cycles e.g. people buy their subscription during Christmas winter time because they want to watch movies during holidays and because it's cold outdoors or during February because of Valentine's Day so they can watch movies with their loved one. The second factor is original content which forces you to buy their subscription because that content is exclusive to the Netflix or in another words you can not watch it anywhere else except on Netflix. Again original content comes in cycles.
I'd say I'm dissapointed, but he truth is I've never purchased Netflix subscription, and even when I'm given passwords to watch something I just end up going on the waves to watch. The same goes for Prime, I just do I just do it put of habit bu t seeing this after their colossal collapse in stock price I want to say it's out of spite and malice now if this is the direction they are going.
