First, who cares? This article isn’t about the consumers. Perhaps it would be great for the Netflix consumer if Netflix became a nonprofit?
Second, why? Why would this be bad for the Netflix consumer. Consumers willing to pay current sub fees shouldn’t be affected, and those unwilling to pay current prices would be able to access Netflix for less money.
This would obviously benefit consumers with less disposable income.

- doldisod 5y agolol. Your comments here make it pretty clear that you’re an ideologue who never intended to seriously engage with anyone anyway. You hate advertising, therefore everything about this article is evil regardless of how correct it may be from a business perspective. You have no interest in debating the article, but only care about pursuing your holy war against advertising.

- doldols 5y agoI think it’s pretty obvious that I did not create that account to break the site guidelines, but as an attempt to constructively engage with c0nduktr. He didn’t like what I had to say, and chose to attack my account instead. While I might have been a little harsh in my reply to that, I said nothing that wasn’t perfectly in line with his comments. It’s not unfair to call him an ideologue, he admits to hating the advertising industry https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30916159 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30916159 Given the nature of his other comments under this post, and his choice to attack me over the age of my account it was certainly not unfair to point out his disinterest in engaging in a thoughtful conversation.
