Only sensible answer.
It's still enshitification, but it's the open kind and there are still legitimate ad-free tiers. I don't think Amazon Prime even has that.
Counter argument: advertisement is shit, except it is less than shit because shit can fertilize a field. It is neither improved nor depreciated by human involvement. Every moment of human effort expended in producing advertising could be better spent on anything else.
It just sounds like the ads have gotten more annoying is all. And worse for the environment. And more expensive for Netflix. But maybe higher value because they force you to interact with them?
Nice thing is it can't come back. There are too many other sources of entertainment and information to make one feel like one is missing out by simply opting out.
I mean honestly this AI era is the time for these absurd anti-piracy penalties to be enforced. Meta downloads libgen? $250,000 per book plus jail time to the person who's responsible.
Oh but laws aren't for the rich and powerful you see!
Now now, it's not like they get the whole inheritance. It's more like they get cushy overpaid non-work jobs to manage or consult for the non-profit.
