    Hypothesis: people don’t realize how expensive replacing ad-subsidized products with paid subscriptions would be, and will only be willing to replace a couple (Netflix, Spotify)

        To replace revenue it’d probably be much higher for US-based users

        There were also ideas of "you control your data and you get a cut of the ads profits". I don't know if anyone will bend over backwards for $20/year Although, adtech exists due to the unevenness of the users.

        How much should ads shown for me be worth? Nobody knows, throw me up on a high frequency traded exchange and let the market decide.

        Alternate hypothesis: people have massively undervalued their time/attention. Realizing this, paying to reclaim it is a no-brainer

        I notice a lot of content creators are starting to offer both paid and unpaid ad subsidized subscriptions. Would be interesting to do a survey of how many choose the paid subscription and at what point it could make sense to change this model. Do you think it’s sustainable?

        Only if no micro payments for media emerge.

        Also agree, though I’m not at all sure SPOT is part of the group that will make it. Nflx certainly is...

        Ad based models are fine, but we need pro-consumer/privacy models that still work for advertisers.

        Prime subscription fee increase is a non-story IMO. People will keep their Prime sub. The interesting story is what category spend will people give up if subscription prices increase in streaming and other entertainment categories. Share of wallet is a zero sum problem.

        Here's another one: Facebook moving to monetizing users directly will hasten the decline of retail.
