I predicted exactly this when they first announced cheaper subscriptions with ads. People were raving that they'd abandon Netflix, because of price hikes commercials and preventing unlimited shared accounts. I suppose some did, but more was added with the cheaper option. So 100% a gain for Netflix. I even considered buying stock in Netflix, but didn't in part because the stock market was pretty shaky at the time. But it would have been a decent investment.
