          I grew up with ads on cable, but I think it was back in the digg days someone said cable started that way too. You paid for cable for shows. Then the ads came. Streaming is almost exactly like cable now, except with the on demand part and how it’s over IP.

            Exactly right, it is the greediest model possible people will accept, ads+sub like cable TV and many popular streaming services became are the same garbage following the same enshittification path because art doesn’t exist in most TV and movies anymore, it’s just a commodity/product in a store.

              You either die the hero or live long enough to become the villain…

          I’m so tired of ads everywhere. I ad block at so many avenues. How do we crack an iPad to get rid of app ads? Is that possible?
