Once YouTube Premium (Or Red initially, I guess), was released, it became extraordinarily hard to watch anything with ads in any capacity. When I visit my in-laws, they still have regular cable TV and I cannot believe that I ever used to sit through this much crap. I was the first person in my friend/family group to do the cord-cutting thing (2012), and so this has been kind of an issue for the last twelve years for me, because whenever I would visit them I'd be stuck with traditional media. The ads must make considerable money though; Amazon Prime started having them by default unless you pay an extra $3/month, which I will not do, and I won't watch ads, so I've just stopped watching things on Amazon, and I doubt I'm the only one; surely Amazon wouldn't annoy their customers like this unless they were getting considerable money for it. It makes me a little sad that Blu-rays appear to be getting phased out, especially for TV shows. I'm not opposed to paying for media that I consume, but I really don't want ads or DRM [1], so I'm not sure what my options are but to just consume YouTube and from my existing (quite sizeable) blu-ray collection. [1] I know Blu-ray has DRM but it's trivial to remove it in a rip so I still consider it DRM-free from a practical perspective.
