If you don't like it then don't use it, but that doesn't mean ads aren't keeping it cheaper.

Get real, they have enough money to fucking buy Warner Brothers. The ads aren't for your benefit, they're to make them richer. Stop defending anti-consumer business practices.

Netflix

Standard with ads: $7.99 / month

Netflix in 2011 no ads: $7.99 / month.

Of course they are trying to make money, but the ads are absolutely saving you money.

Edit: and just to he super clear here: Netflix was never going to be $7.99/m without ads in 2026.

Wow, so you get worse service for the same price in a time where your dollar doesn't go as far. Why are you spinning that like its a good thing?

And let's be honest here, the only reason that's impossible is corporate greed. Nothing else.
