Pirating is so back

There is no other reason to use this apps other than convenience which is keep getting smaller and pricier.

Remember: Cable TV started out as ad-free.

I don't bother paying for ad-free versions of any video service. At some point some analyst will say "but you could make $.000000000000001 more per share if you just put in a few ads" and that will be the end of it being truly ad-free.

Is it anti-consumer? Absolutely. Is finding ways to cut-in ads in a service marketed as "ad-free" arguably fraud? Yes. Does any of this matter so long as number go up and retirement funds keep raking in the money? No.

This has the potential to seriously hurt their subscription model business

Advertising is getting more unbearable and disgusting every day. Does advertising actually attract anyone anymore? It just pushes people away...

I bailed on disney when they went Trump and stopped Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Have not missed it.

Lol, no thanks. I'm back to piratebay.
