Go plans at $8 are getting ads too. Netflix introduced a paid plan with ads, and it is more profitable.

sure but if Netflix keeps up its transition to cable then more people will return to the high seas.
There’s an entire generation (Gen Z) that can’t navigate a file system, so I doubt piracy is a true threat in the long term.
Most Zoomers around me that pirate use some application that obfuscates the torrenting part away, they just have to know how to use a search box and hit play.
everyone just needs a little motivation and returning to cable may well do that.
Won't affect the promotion of the managers that made the number go up with ads.
