This was always the plan.

We are officially round the circle.
From cable tv with ad breaks to streaming ad-free and back to streaming with ad breaks.

don’t forget about the ‘bundles’. lock you in to paying for six to keep you from service hopping.

And that’s why I just cancelled Disney+ and Netflix. They were reasonably priced before, so I subbed. They hiked, so I left. Just those two together (Disney+ bundle + Netflix no-adds) was almost $40, which when added to my internet package, would basically be paying for cable.
So instead of that noise, I’m self-hosting. Screw 'em.
