VentureBeat reported last week that Netflix has now officially made the decision to kill support for iTunes billing for new and returning customers. Subscribers that are currently subscribed via iTunes will still be able to pay through Apple, but new and returning members will be directed to sign up for direct billing outside of the app.
The move follows a similar one from May, when Netflix pulled support for billing through Alphabet's Google Play. That move also allowed existing members to continue billing through Google Play, but that payment method is not available for new and returning customers.
That means Netflix has now effectively removed in-app subscriptions for new and returning users on the two dominant mobile platforms.
Netflix now has over 130 million paid memberships globally, but its domestic and international segments have very different dynamics. The core U.S. market is quite mature and saturated, with member growth rapidly decelerating; Netflix added just 1 million paid subscriptions in the U.S. in the third quarter. In other words, Netflix is shifting the focus of its U.S. business from member growth to profitability.

I see the Pluto ads all the time on Roku.
Yes, you’ll find their app on ROKU. However, Pluto can also be loaded on so many other devices. They’ve some pretty good movies listed for ‘on demand’ The platform is very much like X TV when it was listed as a ROKU Channel. One possible setback is the fact that FNC is nowhere to be found among the alphabet stations. The video gives you a number of possible devices which can be used.
We watch it mainly for NASA and the live tv movie schedule (there are 1/2 dozen), and the movies on demand.
Thanks!
Truth be told, I much prefer the version found on the “Bursting Out” album. Martin Barre really belts it out on that version.
Without a doubt.
It always amazes me how few people even know of that album.
Also, the VHS/DVD “Slipstream” is the best thing, ever.

And I love “A” and I don’t care who knows it.
:D
LOL!
I have “A” on vinyl . . .
Me too.
I still have all my vinyl from back when.
The Stand Up album is the best one.
Pop-ups were cool.
:D
