The Xenomorphs from the Alien franchise are iconic, of course, but there are also the creatures from A Quiet Place, and the Predator, and the thing from The Thing. But not all sci-fi creatures are scary. Some of them are actually kind of cute. Some are even downright cuddly.

And as is so often the case, the first thing folks cut when times are tough is entertainment. And it looks like your favorite streaming service is probably already feeling the pinch.

It has been a busy time at the multiplex as movie fans of all ages have seemingly found something to watch, with healthy ticket sales helping to boost not only theaters but the film industry as a whole.

However, users have to opt-in to these subscriptions, and streamers like Netflix, Max, Disney+ and more have been able to successfully lure subscribers to these money-making tiers with lower subscription prices. However, back in 2023, Amazon Prime Video tried something completely different when it came to moving users to an ad-supported tier. Instead of introducing a cheaper tier with ads, they automatically moved every single subscriber to their ad-based tier, and announced that those who didn't want to see ads would have to start paying $3 more for the privilege in the new year.

In fact the number of FAST TV users in key markets (including the US, Canada, and parts of Europe) has doubled in just the past two years (per AdWeek), and could easily double again by 2026.

However, what about something like streaming entertainment? After all, a Netflix subscription isn't a tangible good. Certainly your entertainment budget won't take a hit from this looming economic crisis, right?
