alt Hacker NewsNetflix was easy, switching to it meant saving money for all the TV addicts.
Compare it to the widespread refusal to pay for Youtube Premium even as ads get worse there.

yt by default is basically free with ads so the public has viewed it as “that” kind of product, mass content of vastly dif quality level.
Netflix was pay to get high quality well known product along with new high quality content.
For well over a decade they were totally different. You cannot just flip a flag and change that. It isnt people refusing to pay, it is because yt is not netflix and never will be for as long as yt is in the name.
My ad blocker still works on YouTube
