Maybe if they didn't shove ads down our throats despite being paying customers, we'd stay fucking subscribed and they wouldn't lose money! But nope. Gotta blame the good content for whatever reason.
No the ads were always where the moneys at. They just make you pay a monthly fee to make you feel like the content is actually valuable. See peacock, formerly free with ads but basically failed to catch on until they started charging for it.
That makes zero sense. Nobody is buying products from advertisers to generate enough profit margin to justify that advertiser paying more for the ads per person than their subscription cost. Ads cost less than pennies per view and click.
