Unless for some countries the cable experience didn’t have ads from square one, then people in those countries have a different reality.

But globally, yes, you’re point is well made and I didn’t know about it (thanks!), and is arguably much more relevant if that timeline and jurisdiction/territory match that of the corporations which currently run the streaming world, which is very much the case by my count.
