Netflix also made a killing by creating the ad-supported tier, because the ads more than cover the cost of lowering the subscription. My folks pay for Netflix with ads but you can block them with a DNS sink like AdGuard or a Pi-Hole.

I think it's a scam honestly. Netflix's library has shrunk with all the other streaming services coming into the market. It was convenient when it was the only game in town but now it's just one of a dozen services feeling more like cable than streaming.

I just saw an article where Apple TV+ was going to bundle with Paramount+ for a lower rate.
