Why don't streaming services just make it free but include ads? Just like cable tv?

Why don't you just pirate every movie and tv show like a normal human being?

This

why make it free when ads when the goyim will literally PAY you to watch ads?

have you guys seen modern day commercials? Its not just bad, its beyond parody at this point. Every other ad is a fucking gambling ad. I SAW A GAMBLING AT AT THANKSGIVING THAT ENCOURAGED FAMILIES TO GAMBLE TOGETHER
not to mention every fucking couple be interacial, always deliberately showing the blue eyes dissolve

>he didnt steal his neighbor's cable
true, but I never paid for it either. I've just been torrenting everything I want to watch since I moved out of my parents like 17 years ago. I guess I could get an IPTV subscription if I really wanted live TV. I just find a stream when I want to watch a live event
>>
Someone should make a streaming service that includes all other streaming services
>>
>>216497252
If Netflix went totally ad free, the experience would be as obnoxious as free YouTube. Ads every 3 minutes no matter what was going on in the episode.
>>
Cable TV's biggest hook was that it didn't have ads at all and then presto, what ended up happening?
Nobody wants to pay to be advertised to.

I lmao everyday that normalfaggots got duped into killing home video, theaters, and cable TV in favor of streaming only for it to rapidly degrade to levels of shit those older services could only dream of. They deserve everything they get.

You might find this interesting but when you're shown a lot of gambling ads, it's because the have a weak profile on you probably due to strong ad-blocking and no social media presence and only really know the basics such as your age and gender.

>>216497252
Hulu did this originally. Free with ads or you could pay $8 per month for premium ad free version. Now it costs $12 just for the version with ads kek
>>
for me it's piracy
>>
>>216497252

Streamers like youtube . tubi and pluto already do this.
>>
>>216497338
Only if you are poor
>>
>>216497252
Because charging a subscription +ads is better?
>>
>>216497252
You have to pay for cable tv. Broadcast tv is free with ads.
>>
>>216497350
My friend's dad was a computer nerd who hacked into his satellite provider or whatever and got all the channels for free he wasn't already paying for. Even the porn channels. Shit was fire. When I would go over there and his parents weren't home we'd have hardcore porn on the TV while playing Diablo 2.

zoomers don't know the difference

I was on the ads Netflix an they increased the prices here recently. I quit, there barely anything on Netflix, I can't catch up on once in a while.

>Broadcast tv is free with ads.

Most young people dont want to be bothered using an antenna to get TV. Some dont even know tv is still broadcast over the air. If you want to stream broadcast tv most broadcasters require a cable account.

I wish ever major studio has their own Pluto or Tubi.

Put your lame unwanted shit out for free on demand and make your sought after stuff only available on a scheduled live broadcast>>216498908
basis

>>216497252
some already do that. but why give it away for free when people are willing to pay and still watch ads?
>>
>>216499040
I don't even want to be bothered to get a tv to watch free tv. I know it's possible to connect an antenna tuner to a computer and watch ota tv on it, but it was a hassle getting bait and switched by the product descriptions and the price being much more than a tv antenna. You know, how Google becomes a different animal when you search for a shippable product.

That's another thing, how they scarcified what's freely available over the airwaves. What if you told someone in the 60s that by now we would all have little tvs/computers/phones/telegraphs/radios/calculators etc.in our pockets but you couldn't watch tv on them or get radio stations? Apple watches should be George Jetson watches where you can watch tv on them, but no.
Apple even got backlash during a hurricane where the internet was out where the iphones already have a radio tuner in them, but they wouldn't release an app or whatever so people could tune in to emergency stations on their phones.
