Netflix doesn't work as an analogy here, because as a subscriber you're not paying the filmmakers directly.

The point from the OP there is less who gets paid but that not running ads leaves money on the table so money oriented people will eventually notice that and run ads as well as collect money directly.

Though I’d say this is more of an issue for the Netflixes of the world that have to please investors.
