That’s not really true. Netflix and HBO don’t have ads. It is possible, just very very hard to stay away from the ads temptation.

- MikusR 6y agoAt least Netflix has loads of ads. In the form of product placement.
- toyg 6y agoSo much this. It’s embarrassing to see otherwise quality-products forced to prostitute themselves to the god of ads. For example, I enjoy Brooklyn 99 like the next guy, but the way their writing bends towards lame product-placement every other episode is really jarring.
- beagle3 6y agoNetflix and HBO aren’t what I was referring to - I was referring to “real” over-the-air and cable television. Cable is paid for everywhere by channel/package. OTA is paid for in many places in the world through e.g. tv license in the Uk. Ads still all over. In contrast to op assuming built in payment would have had replaced ads.
