    On cable as long as you had a DVR you could skip every commercial. With streaming, ads are baked into the experience and commercials can be made unskippable. It sucks.

          Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem.

          You can see it here live. OP’s problem is not the price but that the service is shit, and the only solution you can see in this thread is piracy.

            From 2013 to 2020 I didn’t have bittorrent installed anywhere, and paid for Netflix, NowTV, and Crunchyroll. Then the enshittification kicked in, and now most of what I watch is from bittorrent.
