I’m amazed that ads are so effective that they can make more cramming unwanted video in my face than just asking me for a couple bucks.

    No one wants to pay money for the services they're using. Ads is the way to go.

    Nobody wants to pay for all the little individual piecemeal services and shit, because it’s wildly expensive and inconvenient, and because they keep adding ads to the paid stuff anyway because greed, so what benefit is there to paying?

    Netflix user base grows by tens of millions each year and their ad supported plan is the most favourite. And their growth is slowly turning into exponential.
