In other words the implication that "we're paying more and still have ads" is false.

      >you consider $110 a year for netflix with ads as cheap I mean, if you're so fervently against ads to the extent that paying a single cent is "a lot", then I suppose it's true, but it's highly subjective. By most reasonable comparisons (ie. ads vs non-ad price today, ads vs historical ad price), it's not "a lot".
