Netflix has lots or smart people, and I didn't pay any attention in strategy class so I assume they have thought about this better than me. But it seems like offering an ad-driven product, even if you, for the time being, let people pay to not have ads, is signaling a low-end, commodity positioning on the market. Maybe that is where Netflix thinks they can make the most money, to be the walmart of streaming, presumably battling it out with amazon for that title. What I'm interested in is how the higher end landscape gets affected. It would be great to see more choice, or more good offerings, in the upmarket space, away from any flirting with the ad-driven hellscape that has swept over the rest of the internet. Netflix going all in on low-end maybe opens the door for more high-end
