Ad supported games and software is almost universally of a lower quality than products I’ve paid for. And Netflix got worse when they started forgoing content by the established networks in favor of their own, because their content is worse. Nobody asked them to make their own content. Why would I want to pay more and sit through ads for an inferior product?
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.

If you don’t like it then don’t use it, but that doesn’t mean ads aren’t keeping it cheaper.

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.
