The tulips of our age.

More interesting are the realisations that ad-supported tiers are likely to become commonplace (we were assured some years ago by a certain contributor here that this would never happen) and that dropping entire seasons of a show at once isn’t good for subscriber retention, implying a move towards quasi-scheduling, one episode per week. Disney and Amazon have embraced this; Netflix is clearly dipping its toe in the water too.
