I am sure that providers with paid products like Netflix or HBO are watching closely. Until now the deal was that the customer pays to get rid of ads but maybe they can make the customer pay and still show ads?
- lintroller 8y agoI don't think that Microsoft serving ads within their native mail application has strong ramifications for Netflix or HBO. They are different market segments with different expectations.
- jklinger410 8y agoThe pressure to serve ads in everything that has eyeballs on it is universal.
- kxrm 8y agoYea, that's the cable revenue model, it's not working out so well for them right now. I would be very careful about double dipping.
- wbond 8y agoI’m fairly sure Hulu has done this from the beginning, right? I never understood the allure of paying for Hulu but still seeing ads. I just went to check and apparently you can pay extra to get rid of ads. Recently Amazon has been playing ads at the beginning of shows that are offered for free via Prime. I feel like I even saw them when I had bought a season of a show, but it is now offered for free via Prime. So far it seems like buying shows and movies through Apple is ad-free.
