> Consider the streaming services which charge you but still serve ads

I pay for the ad-free experience on every service that offers it, and I still see ads. The 4 second hulu splash screen at the start of EVERY item I stream is still an ad. HBO, sorry MAX, showing 30s ads for other shows EVERY. TIME. I stream something, still an ad. At least those I can skip, but I shouldn't have to.

There was no real purpose to my post, I just needed to vent about that part your point.

I don't think you should continue using them if paying for them still has ads. We take collective action now or we end up with cable TV all over again.
