Didn't Netflix create a plan where it serves you ads?
@alyx @nosleep @pasture i know hulu originally had a free version that served ads, and you could pay to have them removed. idk about netflix, i haven't used it since like 2016.
that would still be different, though. imagine if netflix was free and served ads to pay for the service, and you could pay $8/month to get 2 ads during a movie instead of 4, or you could pay $12/month to get no ads at all. i don't think anyone would go for the cheaper option.
another example would be if YouTube Premium just gave you less ads, rather than no ads at all.
on one hand i think it's funny that twitter users are getting extorted but on the other hand, is elon actually trying to tank twitter on purpose....?

Normally Netflix didn't have ads at all, but recently there were talks about creating a cheaper plan that also served ads. I don't know if they went along with the plan.
It wouldn't too bad if Elon actually tried to destroy Twitter imo, but I don't think the Blue thing is that bad. I don't remember Twitter having that many ads to begin with anyway.
