    That’s exactly the thing that turned me off cable. I’m not interested in paying for a service that’s going to pipe ads into my home. OTA TV, fine, I’m not paying for that. When I can pay for services that don’t show me ads, why would I pay for one that does?

      Don’t worry, they are gradually taking that option away too.

        Then the answer becomes to get those things without paying someone to show you ads.

        When the illegal choice becomes the objective best experience, you’re just a savvy consumer.
