Yesterday, I watched the IND vs PAK cricket match using the "other" way, as I didn't feel like paying for 3 months of Hotstar (they didn't have the option for paying for a monthly subscription, and after Champions Trophy, it would have gone to waste), and guess what, I got a significantly better experience, minus the occasional buffering. The stream was actually of a higher quality, and there were very few commercials (many times, not a single advert) on the streams I watched (one of them was "Sky Sport 1" from New Zealand I guess).

Growing up, I always wondered what actually happened between overs, when the greedy broadcasters showed us ads. All in all, a free service is seemingly offering a much better quality than paid subscriptions.
