> taking the number from your comment From the article, fyi. > slowing at a rapid pace because of increasing competition from Apple, Amazon, Disney and HBO. I don't doubt that but I do suspect other services will see some slow down too as a result of general bullshit and uncertainty in the economy. It's never really just one thing. Then again...yeah Disney+ is a really good deal. And Amazon's numbers are inflated from other Prime stuff. I'm just an old man yelling at a screen from his arm chair because I can't trust anyone.

"slowing at a rapid pace" makes no sense as a statement. Is their growth stalled? How can anything slow at a rapid pace?

    I think in this case it’s supposedly still accelerating but you are depressed the gas and the engine is spooling back down to idle. I think the term is Jerk

The other services are not charging a premium just for 4K, are not bundling 4K with 4 screens and have content that competes/beats Netflix's. They also haven't saturated the markets so you will not see them slowing down yet. I predict Netflix will change two things business wise: 1. Ads. 2. No content dumps, instead 1 episode/week.

  The day Netflix has ads is the day I unsubscribe. The price, here in Canada at least, has already doubled since I first subscribed and is getting close to a cable subscription. Ads and high price is why everyone cut the cable in the first place. (And poor content)

    It depends on how they implement it. The CEO said he was open to lower-priced tiers with ad support. I wouldn't mind an ad before each show if it meant a lower price. But if they raise the ad-free prices or start putting ads in during the shows, people will be more upset. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/netflixs-ceo-says-hes-open-to-creating-a-lower-priced-tier-with-ads-as-the-company-bleeds-subscribers/ar-AAWoocA https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/netflixs-ceo-says-hes-...
