Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices::Finding new subscribers in a saturated streaming video market isn't easy. And with legacy media companies desperate to recoup revenue declines in their linear TV businesses, the cost of your monthly plan is likely to keep rising.

I've no problem with paying for good services, but when I get a better service from a random pirate streaming site than I do from Amazon Prime, why would I continue paying for that?

I'm just sick of things either being exclusive to one service even though they're decades old, or just plain not available.

Oh, and if I'm paying, I don't want ads. Not ever.

I have a problem paying for DRM. I want to use open source and DRM is the opposite. I like (and buy sometimes) Creative Commons music/audio-books just because it tastes better when artist isn't supporting restricting me. Cory Doctorow is a creative worker who lives and breaths anti-DRM, if you've not explored this. I recommend his old talk "The Coming War on General Computation".
