      If we raise prices 13 percent and only 10 percent leave our service… Huge profits.

        Wouldn’t you rather do less work for more money?

        Imagine all the video streaming and storage infrastructure which can be rented to AI Bros instead. Imagine all the CSAM and copyright infringing material Grok and Co. can generate with all these free resources!

        This is a “smart” business decision and that’s why capitalism is bad.

      that’s assuming the stock won’t go up regardless of the price increase outcome long enough for shares to be sold

    Not reading the article, but just chiming in to say… Disney+ is also changing its TOS to include ads at the beginning and end of content no matter the tier of subscription.

      As long as people keep accepting ads in their period service the streaming giants will keep adding more and more. Why people keep paying I don’t understand

      Why do you think suddenly they’re trying to crack down on piracy?
