Oh so you don't get ads on your TV or in the magazines you subscribe to?

  Well, I don't. Whether it's the BBC, ITV, iPlayer, 4OD for video, or Le Canard Enchaine for press, or the stuff in my RSS feed, I'm only paying one way or the other.

  TV is free? Most magazine subscriptions can be had for ~$10/year.

    The parent objected to paying cash + being subjected to looking at ads. I tried to point out that's how traditional media has worked with examples from TV and magazines.

      Right, and I'm disagreeing. Both tv and magazines require token payments that don't even cover distribution.

        Oh so $16/mo can cover The Times costs, while $60-80/mo can't cover for TV. (Also, afaik, TV has more subscribers than newspapers)
