Amazon Prime got ads, Crunchyroll got ads(But fortunately it’s only for free users :X), Netflix has an ad tier. We escaped from TV land precisely because at the time it was better and had no ads, now they wanna just throw all those fun times away. Streaming imho is problematic anyway because of ownership. Sure you can enjoy that movie on a certain service’s catalog now, but what about even 1 year into the future? I guess most people don’t care about what happens to media, unless it’s books. But imho, all media can have the same impact on us, whether movies, books, games or music or anything. If it made a impactful event on your life, and suddenly the providers say “Sorry, we don’t have the rights for that anymore.” wth is the point of having media in the first place?!
