Everyone who's ever scolded people for blocking ads, 'because otherwise we'd have to pay for stuff,' can straight-up go fuck themselves.

This happens every time.

'Come to our paid service, no ads! Oh wait we can get your subscription and sell your eyeballs. More money for us fuck you.'

Can't even whine at pirates about creators not getting paid, because it's these fucking studios not paying them. Precious few of the billboards at the writers' strike or the actors' strike are about you or me.
