It’s very true this drives watch time, but I doubt it drives subscriptions.

My guess is some internal metrics favor watch time over quality and is just quietly killing their business.

As most of their revenue becomes advertising revenue instead of subscriptions then watch time is all they care about. It’s what happened with cable TV.

We would not have as many streaming subscriptions as we do if had to sit in front of the TV to watch shows, if we couldn't have shows in the background while doing laundry and other chores.
