    Get a billion dollars from WWE

    Raise prices on everyone

    Included First Hike on Ad-Supported Tier

    Is it ad-supported or is it subscription supported? Because it can’t be both.

    Didn’t… didn’t they just do this?

    Man, ad free is gonna get fucking expensive over time. I can already see how they will weight the ad tier at “just $9.99” at some point when ad free 4k is $31.99 or something crazy.

      People will remain subscribed because a $2 increase every few months doesn’t feel as bad as a $30 increase in one go.

      Frogs in boiling water and all that…

      “The ad-free tier. Look man, don’t even ask about cost. This is one of those situations where if you have to ask, you can’t afford it.”

        Was taught that if someone asks the price, they’re concerned with wanting to pay it.

    I find the paid with ads tier so confusing. Kind of defeats the purpose of paying.

    55% of new Netflix signups between Oct-Dec 2024 were for the ads tier though.

            Hahaha true. I’m not really there yet where they’re requesting but we usually go with Play School or Bluey with our toddler. Fortunately ABC iView has both and is free with barely any ads.
