Whether ads are a discount or ad-free is a premium is just a matter of framing.

I think their point is that people are missing the fact that the ad-revenue model (as proposed) would have no impact on people already subscribing.

I appreciate that you're being positive but with media companies I'm much more cynical.

I think we're going to see a price increase to stay ad free or an option to have the same price with advertising. So it will be a price increase to keep your same service ad free.

I understand, I'm only going off of what they've publicly stated as their intent as reported by the WSJ and elsewhere. I'm also skeptical.

"Reed Hastings said Netflix is exploring ways to add lower-priced advertising-supported subscription tiers"
