Somehow paying for Netflix is fine but god forbid I want to watch a 10 hour loop of the DS9 intro without ads.

Or don't and pay for things you use and enjoy with gratitude and no sense of entitlement.

    I pay for it, but it's insanely cheap in my country. Family plan is like $1.5 a month lol. 5 or 6 users for that convenience is worth it in my eyes. I'd rather do that than make my parents, grandparents have to worry about ad blockers on all their devices.

    Family plan in my country is like $4USD. And it provides more than adblock. I can easily download a few hour-long videos to my kid's tablet for long train rides without futzing with third-party Downloader. I have a pihole in my house and use adblock on every device that supports it, but premium is still worth so much.

    Yeah it's good assuming it's cheap. In the US, it's quite a bit more and I don't think I'd pay that much. These big companies know that charging that kind of money in India will get them nowhere and so even Spotify and Apple Music are super cheap.
