I honestly have no idea how any company anywhere can be expected to survive when Wall Street can declare that having over 200 million subscribers is considered a disappointment and the stock loses $50 billion in value overnight. That doesn’t seem to have any relationship to reality.
I agree. The perpetual need for growth and ROI can cause all sorts of scary corporate behavior. Just look at the Boeing 737-Max disaster. They became obsessed with growth and ROI to the severe detriment of their engineering prowess.
I'd cancel immediately if this happened but it certainly wouldn't surprise me at this point.Advertisements is the path to least resistance. Why they have not implemented them yet I do not know.
