I think you're a little behind the times here. Most of the major streaming services have features to automatically play something else when your video ends, and they have for some time--it's hardly a differentiator for Netflix. Likewise downloading content for trips. Hulu does show ads, but they've had an ad-free tier for years now. At the same time, Netflix's catalog has declined--shows that used to be big draws for them aren't there any more, from Mad Men to The Office. Their market share plunged in 2021, and I doubt that's the end of it.

Not autoplay, autopreview* , they have a lot of half finished shows which irks people but as they literally came out with new seasons of multiple shows as I just finished binging 2-3 seasons. And they do have a lot of rebranded old tv shows as well. There is simply no reason for them to be less than very profitable anytime soon. I am sure they are losing market share but they are charging more too. It's very hard to beat the first-to-market advantage.
