Remember when streaming services used to promise an ad-free experience? Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and HBO Max all launched on that premise, and one by one, those services are now adding in commercials in exchange for a slightly lower subscription price.
People are buying it too. Subscribers opting for ad-supported tiers are on the up, along with streaming bundles that feel a lot like the cable TV of old. Is it just us, or does the future of TV feel quite familiar? @nytimes has more (gift link).

#Amazon are running an advert on #Twitch for #Audible. A woman has increasing problems with her car and just chuckles somewhat insanely. Punch-line is that whilst it's all going wrong around her she's listening to something funny.
Amazon want you to think "hey it's lightening her mood".
What I'm actually thinking is that if she wasn't distracted by trivia she wouldn't shaft her car, drop her keys carelessly into an oily ditch, or stupidly leave her door open to the road to have it torn off.
The #Amazon#Kuiper project prototype #satellites have been actively deorbited after what the company describes as "a 100% success rate across our key mission objectives".
