Evidently screwing customers twice by making them watch ads for the same price they used to get ad-free has been profitable. Let the enshitification continue!

In other news, their ad sales VP left this week for some reason.

They've lost my business altogether, and I had been a member since the mailed DVD days.

Plus the content they produce is nearly shovelware.

It was so exciting getting those red envelopes in the mail…

They really screwed themselves over long term with so many cancellations. Would've been better to give shows something like a 2 episode mini season to wrap stuff up.

Same man, but here's the crappy thing, they don't give a fuck, because overall revenue is up, and fewer customers means fewer operating costs.
