A bit odd that the article doesn’t mention advertising on cable/sat/fiber/traditional(?) media delivery into the home.
The single biggest draw, to me, isn’t that I can watch when I want (that’s second). It’s not having to spend my time watching ads. Life is just better without someone trying to sell me something for 20 minutes out of every hour.
I’m willing to pay for that privilege.
I value my time - or at least the opportunity to spend it how I want when I’m not making someone already rich, even richer.
Of you don't watch a ton of content then spending about $20 or less a month to have some media with no ads is already massively better than cable.
