This 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.

I was surprised that Prime is ranked 3rd according to 2022 data from Statista, I almost never watch anything on it but watch several channels through it and wonder if that counts towards their stats. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1368336/video-streaming-...
It turns out there's quite a bit of children's programming (possibly exclusively) available on Prime Video, which could be at least one reason for its popularity among families.
