Netflix Is Doing Great, So It’s Killing Off Its Cheapest Ad-Free Plan for Good::The company made gains in ad-based subscribers, but the $12 Basic subscription is being put out to pasture later in 2024 starting in Canada and the U.K.
You know all this is fuelled by the desire for eternal growth, which at the end is unsustainable but human greed has no boundaries I guess. And all the SaaS and in general the subscription model so many companies are trying to promote has exactly the same goal.
I do remember the early days of mobile phones and apps when you were actually able to buy a lifetime license for different apps and get meaningful updates. Now everything turned into a giant SaaS garbage and data collection pile of shit.
