It’s classic modern fuckery where analysts focus on data without understanding the information it contains.
I sold my Netflix a few years ago when they started talking about how they are an attention sink vs an entertainment company.
A/B tests and manipulative apps have a hard time accounting for external competition.
The CEO’s reaction confirmed the cluelessness - pulling some bullshit non-plan about ads out of his ass is like ripping out the IV. If I was on the fence about Netflix, having the company accuse me of being a thief for allowing my family to use it and announcing ads will certainly get me off the fence.
