#2This is equivalent to shrinkflation: pay the same, get less. Streaming platforms want to retain most users, but also extract more value from them. Slowly a new threshold for what's "normal" is set, and perhaps then -more- adds can be added. There's no need to speculate where things go from there. Just look at where cable TV is.

Streaming just came full cycle to traditional TV broadcasting. An impressive feat of disrupting an industry right there.

#8I can barely find something to watch on Prime which is why I only subscribe like 1 month a year, and for that month I spend maybe 8 total hours watching.
Maybe if Amazon made better content, then they could get more revenue.
