In terms of their stock, the only reason to ever own a stock is the promise of future cash flow, and yeah they'll probably get there, but bleh.

They’re just targeting people who think the ads aren’t a big deal. I know people making massive money who sit through Youtube and Hulu ads. I’m the only person I know who subscribed to Youtube premium it seems. So, plenty of people to target with ads. Even HNers making big bucks.
Ads are their own form of entertainment.

Re: Netflix Officially Adding Commercials
#27Based on the content of the article, seems obvious they're adding ads to a new lower tier / free tier plan. This is what most if not all competitors do. I don't see the big deal, it's not like they're going to inject ads into the current tiers.
They will have a "limited ads" tier to replace "no ads" within 5 years.
People that have extra disposable income to avoid ads are very valuable to advertisers.

#29So yeah, showing even a single ad is just the fire I need to remember to cancel.

If they do they are going to lose massively subscribers.
That's the funny thing about oligopoly, you know...
