What do you mean, ‘now accepted’? I have always accepted that people don’t have unlimited disposable income. Why would you think otherwise? Yet again, you are attributing an argument to me that I have never made.

The number of new subscribers will grow less fast, and eventually flatten out over time because that’s the limit of interest in the streamer.

People who can’t afford more (or any) SVOD providers will turn to AVOD providers instead, and most VOD providers will probably give us that choice over time, although Netflix has ruled out an AVOD option up until now.

I read what was actually written, and that does not contradict what I think or anything I have said in any way.

How it fits in with your thoughts on the matter I’m not sure, but if you are able to make sense of it within your belief system, I’m perfectly happy with this.

My grandmother became more confused as she became older and would only ever watch ITV. She never, ever, turned the channel!
