I was happily using this for a year or so now. Feels fairer than using an ad blocker. But now they apparently want more money out of people. Feels like some sort of internet video apocalypse is happening, where the services become extremely fragmented and expensive, like YouTube, netflix, hbo, Hulu, Disney+ and whatnot. Each wants some 10-20€ out of your pocket.

I guess that means back to ad blockers and piracy...

That's awesome, so glad this helped.

I actually shelled out the extra cost for a family plan for my wife and son (as well as my parent's Sonos) to not need to deal with stuff like this - but I really think this should just be "an option".
