For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn’t want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in.

This is what happened to cable too I think. My grandpa was saying back in the day cable was what you got to avoid ads
thats right. broadcast had tons of ads and also had no cursing/sex etc. cable came along with no ads and tons of cursing and sex etc.
and of course broadcast was a big deal originally because people didnt want to pay 25 cents to watch a movie.
I can’t see any removing the ad free option, they’ll just make it more expensive.
