Based on the content of the article, seems obvious they're adding ads to a new lower tier / free tier plan. This is what most if not all competitors do. I don't see the big deal, it's not like they're going to inject ads into the current tiers.
- avidiax 5y ago> it's not like they're going to inject ads into the current tiers They will have a "limited ads" tier to replace "no ads" within 5 years. People that have extra disposable income to avoid ads are very valuable to advertisers.

- huffer 5y agoIt may depend on how the whole ecosystem evolves: if the competition starts doing similar stuff, then you would have no alternative but to stick with one of them and accept the introduction of ads. That's the funny thing about oligopoly, you know...
- hiq 5y agoP2P doesn't have ads and doesn't look like it's going away.
- mahkeiro 5y agoThe success of Netflix came as it was more convenient to use it than to download. If all streaming service are not seen as convenient everybody will be back to "old" download strategy.
