And then interpreted enshittification. The whole point was that we wanted convenience, and no ads. Ads are a terrific revenue driver that also goes through a bidding process, so they want the growth.
What I see next is a return to the cat and mouse game of mass pirating since there's no agreement on the value proposition. People hate ads, we want to pay a fair price, and execs are just greedy motherfuckers operating on the mentality of extract the most possible monetarily with the absolute minimum cost, sacrifice quality, and fuck it all for the short term.

Typical executive cunts.
Added benefit: preserving media that execs would rather just harvest a tax loss on.
