I first time I see an ad on my ad-free subscription, I will cancel like I did with Prime Video.

It’s like they want us to become pirates.

    Just a numbers game. More people will absorb the costs than cancel their subscriptions. So these streaming services can keep ratcheting until they hit a breaking point. There's no disincentive to these behaviors, as long as net revenue increases quarter to quarter.

    Piracy requires a certain degree of technical competence and internet savvy that the vast majority of end users don't have.
