I’m willing to bet that we’re not far off from YouTube including ads even if you pay. We’ve already seen other streaming services start to do this. I think the streaming services will become more interested in ad revenue than they are in paying subscribers.

  What about in 5 years, when they've normalized subscriptions with the ad levels you expect today, and their shareholders demand more dividends. What then? Ads baby. Why would it stop when literally every public corporation's ONLY goal is to extract more money out of you, the consumer? Foolish thinking.
