Why does this false meme keep coming up? Basic cable was never a premium experience. Cable was first introduced to bring network TV - with ads - to areas that couldn’t get over the air reception,

The only stations that were add free were the same premium channels that you have today like HBO.

Some of the earliest cable “superstations” were just rebroadcast of local channels with ads like TBS and WGzn.

In India, regulations stated that ads on cable TV pay-to-view were supposed to be limited / less than Free-to-Air channels. But it wasn't much different ...

Maybe your view of the world is a bit too narrow.

The above was absolutely true in my market (Australia). The GP didn't appear to specify a country, so I'm unsure why you're trying to invalidate their experience.
