      My sister in law does the ad supported plans, she just got out of college and still gets paid shit so she does the cheap plans. She’s not capable of sailing correctly

        I mean it’s fair. I prefer sailing but I’m not good at it, or just keeping up with different sites and whatnot.

        I end up finding alternative methods, like I pay less than $2 a month for YouTube Premium right now, just subscribe to Premium on an Argentina VPN.

      That’s what I never understood about cable tv! Never once have I paid for a service that forces me to watch ads. I would never pay for that!

        At least Netflix is mostly content with occasional ads. Cable TV is mostly ads with the occasional piece of content lol

          Just give it time. As soon as people allow them to pull this shit, they will start pushing the envelope for all its worth.
