Honest answer: piracy. If companies won't let you pay to avoid advertising, let them know it's a problem by not paying at all.

- mathgeek 10y ago"If I can't have it exactly the way that I want it, I'm going to acquire it illegally." An interesting and recurring theme in piracy, to be sure.
- tyingq 10y agoCalling something a DVR when it doesn't have FF is also interesting. If it's "ON DEMAND" with easy bookmarking, that's fine, but it's not a DVR.
- Veratyr 10y agoWell it seems to be the only thing that drives improvement in media licensing. Without piracy I suspect iTunes and Spotify would have come decades later, if at all. I suspect the same can be said for Steam. Piracy really is an availability problem.
- xanderstrike 10y agoThat's not what I said. I'm not very picky at all, I have two requirements for streaming services: have the content I want and do not advertise to me. There are several services that satisfy this requirement: Netflix, HBO Go, Google Play Music. I subscribe to all three.
