Seems like you'd already know this, but money doesn't just grow on trees. No ads just means content costs viewers more out-of-wallet dollars. Hulu has a cheap subscription with ads, or a more expensive one without them. HBO doesn't have ads... and you have to pay extra to add it to your cable package. Your "funding" concept is simply a higher price tag.
- SilasX 6y agoI'm not sure where my comment implied that money grows on trees; that condescension isn't warranted. And I left it deliberately vague about how much the monthly fee is -- there are different models consistent with what I described. The point is, to simply apportion directly it over what people actually watch, rather than the clumsy system of paying for a specific provider and some unrelated amount of money going to the content.
