I think aside from everything that's been mentioned already, i feel that companies are being very manipulative about these things. The games industry is a good example, they tune many games so that they're less fun and then try to upsell you some way to circumvent the less fun parts. I feel the same is true for youtube, twitch etc. I used to watch both without adblock, the amount of ads were generally okay. I didn't mind them much. Now i feel they've become unbearable in number and style. Especially on youtube, where they often need interaction or they will run for 2+ minutes. So watching it on TV is like some clicker exercise with the remote every 3 minutes. Many ads are also unskippable now and much louder than the content watched, they come at bad timings and interrupt the flow. Have they tuned this to oblivion so their product sucks on purpose without subscribing?
