If Netflix starts selling ads then only Netflix executives will watch the shows, everyone else will cancel their subscriptions.

I'm happy to go back to using BitTorrent for everything if they insist on making the experience of paying for shows worse than pirating them.

Yeah, the quality of a lot of Netflix shows just feels inferior to other platforms.

You say that but people have been watching cable TV for decades.

Maybe the key point being that they are a different audience, Netflix users seek something else.

Copy cable TV business plan and theses users will just migrate elsewhere. Way to shot on your own foot.

Speaking of cable, if the quality of Netflix produced content would be comparable to the one of hbo or Disney I would even consider paying for it and watch ads. But I think Netflix subscriptions are going down because m, at least in my personal experience, the content is just offensively stupid, banal, childish and poor. Maybe the first step should be to product stuff that makes sense
