I really feel it now that Prime and Netflix have ads in the middle of their content.

If everyone who complained about ads in Prime and Netflix canceled their accounts, then Prime and Netflix would be motivated to remove their ads.

Wouldn't this also cause them to charge more to make up for lost paying customers? 🤔

[-] jkrtn@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago

Certainly possible, but there is a limit to what they can charge before losing customers on price as well as on principle.
