The only streamer making money is Netflix. Their biggest subscriber base? The lower-cost Netflix+Ads subscription.

Prime Video was always an add-on bonus to being a Prime Subscriber. That it started as ad-free is important to note, but nobody subscribed to Prime specifically/only for the Prime Video offering.

Similar story: Prime users get a basic version of Amazon Music with a subset of songs... but if you want full Amazon Music access, it'll cost (about) $7/month extra.

Compared to how other services have handled price increases, Amazon is taking the correct approach with Video:  you're not losing any content by staying with the default plan and we aren't going to change your overall Prime subscription cost.

However, if "no commercials" is important, then that's going to cost an additional $X.

Amazon could have raised the overall Prime subscription cost, which would have annoyed any Prime subscriber who doesn't take full advantage of Prime Video. They chose a route with least price resistance.

Yeah it’s pretty lame streaming services are going back to ads. Thats the biggest reason everyone ditched cable. 

People were'nt that concerned with Ads, with TiVo's Ad Skip technology or other DVR usage allowing people to zip through them.

Was more about overall carriage fees charged by the Channels being passed to consumers by the cable companies. Non-sports folks didn't like having to pay $13/month for ESPN, a channel they didn't/rarely watched but was required as part of the basic cable package.

Consumers wanted more of an a la carte model. But there was too much focus on being able to pick-and-choose-the-channels rather than on the ads/who pays for content conversation.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
