I pay spotify for an ad free service, so I guess netflix is the same these days.

Can you pay for an ad free service still? I don’t like the idea of paying for netflix only to get adverts anyway. It seems to defeat the purpose.

I pay BBC for an ad free service, but that isn’t a choice.

Netflix used to be the big dog in streaming. Nowadays its just one among the herd/pack.

The streaming bubble is about to pop, I think. It only got big because it was more convenient than piracy, and reasonably priced. If it becomes more inconvenient, or too expensive, people will just return to the old ways. I would gladly pay $10 a month to get quality programming. I would not pay $15 a month to get commercials AND find out my favorite shows are no longer available. At that point, I’m just going back to buying DVDs. Or…other means…

I pay for YouTube premium. 10$ I think.

I don’t want ads. But the internet is putting up paywalls up everywhere + ads.

I’ve always used Firefox since like Firefox 3.0. Probably because I used to use Linux which is the only browser that really works well there. UBlock Origin is good.
