Re: The future for linear TV channels

It's an interesting issue in its own right. Netflix clearly has a fine balance to achieve, but as of right now I do think that their limited subscriber base means they would not make much ad revenue, and therefore it is mor valuable to them to pitch at the ad-free market.

I don't think it is relevant to the issue of the future of linear TV in any way, shape or form. There is nowhere in the world where the entire TV landscape is locked behind voluntary subscription, because the market for free to air, ad-funded TV is too great. Subscription services, especially Internet-delivered ones like Netflix, will always be niche.
