> just like broadcast TV

You've conveniently skipped the mention of ads that require interaction, which is far worse.

> $2-$3 it would cost you to go ad-free

It appears to cost $12,and apparently only removes ads on some shows... so, no.

That's a hell of a sense of superiority you've got yourself there kiddo...

I believe the "$2-$3" was intended to be the difference between the with-ads subscription ($8), and the without-ads subscription ($12).

It would be more honest to call it the "packed full of ads" subscription and the "no ads on some things, but still a few ads on anything you probably want to watch" subscription.
