    they are definitely not doing everything they can to increase their conversion rate.

    Oh you mean like prompting users to buy extra services all the time?
    Yes they are actually doing exactly that.

      No, I don’t mean prompting users. Typical ways to increase conversion rate are locking popular features behind the subscription (like you need premium account to comment), making some content available only to premium users or limiting the amount of content you can access as a free user (like only 2h per day). So far I’m still watching videos on youtube without even creating an account and without ads (ad-block).
