Yep, that was my epiphany as well - after trying Netflix and its then ad-free experience about 10 years ago, TV and other ad-infested 'entertainment' was ruined for me forever. I currently pay for YT Premium and unsubscribe from any channels that force in-video ads. While I didn't stay a Netflix streaming member (and will stop being a DVD member when they kill that service), I thank them for showing me how much better things could be.
