People watching tons of ads on streaming services to save a few dollars a month is proof enough that ads aren't going to deter your average person.


And people watching ads even after they paid for the service is even more telling.


Exactly this… seeing ads on a service for which I’ve already paid makes me absolutely irate. Almost as bad as having to purchase content on a service I already pay for (Apple comes to mind although more do this as well).

And there is absolutely nothing stopping any company inserting ads at any time just to meet some product manager’s Q3 revenue target at any given time.
