Advertising makes content cheaper or free. I personally would prefer to watch a few ads than to pay for or to have to break the law to view content.

I'm not sure I really support that business model then. I've always thought subsidizing was bullshit. Look at the mess we are in over subsidized corn. I would much rather pay what shit is worth and let the market shake out in a more realistic way.

How do you know something's worth until after you've watched it? Also, nervous producers go for safe (boring) things like remakes.

I'm halfway arguing for argument's sake, but I'm not in love with paying monthly for a service that I may or may not have time to watch, nor the well, I guess that review was good, here's 5 dogecoins, 'gee I hope I like it' model.

If I, say watched an episode with commercials and then decided it was worth it to spend x to watch it ad free that is something I would entertain, but really? Fuck me, I'll watch some ads if I can watch a whole season/movie for free.
