Holy fracking shoot…
Let me just make a few things clear, because this is being taken very much out of context:
- “Ad-supported movies” does not mean ads played before your own movies. We would never dream of putting ads in front of your own content, that makes zero sense and would be literally the dumbest thing anyone would ever do.
- What is being discussed here is adding more streaming content, just like WebShows (also ad-supported) or Podcasts (not ad-supported).
- The whole “content is organized not by source but by type” is likely taken from the demos of existing apps, which are organized that way now. I PROMISE you that we’re in the process of moving away from that as we speak.
- I’m not sure where you got the “mingling own media” thing. I personally love seeing TIDAL suggestions when I’m in my own music library, as I learn about new bands or new releases by bands I have. But that’s personal taste, and it’s not forced on me,
So, bottom line—let’s not panic. I’m not in the habit of lying, and I’m not about to start now.
