   Same company that also announced that their supposedly "ad-free" plans will now be allowed to include ads and promotional content before and after content.

   These streaming services learned nothing from cable are just pushing people back to pirating

      Maybe they haven't learned anything. Or maybe they crunched the numbers and decided losing a percentage of users to piracy was worth the risk? The only thing that is crystal clear is the greed - no amount of money/profits will ever be enough.

      As a user, probably the best thing to do is get a library card and read books published prior to 1980 or thereabouts. Much of the movies/shows produced these days is not that good anyways, and anything that is good gets canceled after a season or two
