>But also, probably the MBAs are going to come out with infinite combinations of tiered-services that nobody will understand

Like bundling stuff you would never subscribe to.

Yes, and then you get a bundle with Prime, Netflix, Disney whatever. For the first year it will be great, SSO, maybe unified search, whatever. But then, this will become "basic netflix, basic prime". All the good stuff will be in a "new" premium tier. You'll have to add those to your subscription, and then you'll endup with cable tv over ip.

We just need to shove advertising somewhere and we're golden.

I'll start making the pitch deck and crunch some numbers for the boys upstairs.

"Subflix Prime TV+" sounds good to you?
