    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.
