As Amazon becomes the latest platform to push an ad-supported tier, TV writers greet this retro model with frustration and, in some cases, disdain: “I thought 'Nine Perfect Strangers' with commercials was horrible,” says David E. Kelley of his Hulu show with breaks.
People still want leisure in their life and that’s cheaper than most other forms of leisure. Just because someone’s broke doesn’t mean they will inherently not want easy access to entertainment.
Like I said there are a lot of free streaming services with ads, no need to pay for them.
And frankly there is a lot of leisure to be had that is not paying a streaming bill.
Don’t get me wrong, i simply will not pay for ads, so it is principle with me. But apparently some people are happy with both.
