What? Cable networks have ads regardless if you have a cable/satellite box or stream them.

[Actvs Dei]

Over the air networks have ads and they're free I don't get why cable is so expensive and you still have to watch ads. Makes no sense

What do you even get with YouTube TV? I have YouTube premium for ad free YouTube at the grandfathered original price.

Did they ever roll out 5.1 sound for anything other than poverty google devices? They said it was "coming soon" for the Apple TV for a year or more with no update.

yeah Netflix, Prime (although they love slipping stuff in before shows), HBOmax and Disney+ and video games don't have ads. But for some reason Cable TV cant make do with just the Ad revenue they have to charge an arm and a leg on top of that. Now an argument could be made in the past that you were paying distribution and hardware costs but that's mostly bullshit today.

It’s just a streaming substitution for cable

bro, Netflix and HBOMax might be the most egregious product placement motherfuckers out there. HBO product placed starbucks in Game Of Thrones

They went back in a digitally edited that out

They are doing the same thing with YouTube Premium/Music. Got notified yesterday that it's going from $15 to $23 a month for a family plan.
