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.
