I would argue all streaming services have gone to shit. I'm not saying I encourage anyone to pirate that doesn't want to. But I am saying i don't blame a single soul that does.
As far as I'm concerned all those companies can go fuck themselves. They know that the less technical people will willingly keep paying so the ones they lose won't matter.
Yo ho yo ho
Beating will continue until morale improves
Damn today sucks eztv gotta work a little harder removing those ads for me now

I just assumed this disclaimer was for live sports, which include ads whether you want them to or not. It’s not like you can just leave out the commercial breaks in a live broadcast.

The biggest enabler of these are those bundles you get with cable / Internet providers. Do yourself a favor and buy these individually if at all so you can stop the subscriptions at any time without worries.

Ok. But the first one i see and im canceling
This isn’t new. They’ve been doing that since Agents of SHIELD was on the air. They would start with “this is not included in the no ads plan.”
Yep. Worked there for a bit. They're contractually obligated to show ads on certain content. Doesn't matter what tier you're on. As a paying customer (a rather long time ago), my partner became so incensed at the ads that played even though he paid for ad-free that he rage-cancelled his membership.
And I am clarifying that as I continue to subscribe to this service, circumstances may require that my payments will exclude currency, and include regular visits to The Pir[REDACTED]te Bay.
Edit: sorry, Rule 2.
I just cancelled my subscription and got a refund too. Good riddance.
If you can prove a contradiction then you can prove anything, and here we have ¬ads = ads. BRB there's some stuff I want to prove that I have.

Someone get Louis on the phone. There is another article for the Consumer Action Taskforce database waiting to be written.
LMAO I’m glad I stopped using Hulu’s service as they are a corpo dumpster fire; streaming was always doomed to become shitty because corporations can’t help but screw up good things. They intentionally waited for the shift in Administration to be as bullshit as possible.
Paramount Plus is the same way.
