    Why would you give Amazon money for a Netflix show?

    What’s your favorite tv show distributor that you do pay for?

    None right now. I'd like to pay for local content (French Canadian from Québec) but it's spread across 14 services so it's impossible. It gets way too expensive and it's riddled with ads even if you pay.

    I see. So it’s not about any one service. You just don’t pay. And you likely reject ads on free services.

    Seems broken.

    No. Ads on free services is fine. I watch Pluto and Tubi for example. If it's free, I expect ads. If I pay,  I expect not to have ads because I already bring a revenue to the service provider. Plus, the paid services used to be the same price with no ads. But they got greedy and decided to put ads for extra revenue for their investors. I reject that.
