Nevertheless valid I think. In subscribing to Netflix (or continuing to do so in my case) the absence of ads has to be one of the considerations.

And we'll being going to piracy if we had to watch ads on top of paying a monthly fee. This would be ridiculous. There's advertising almost everywhere else. Why do we need more advertising?

I'd wager most people here are aware of what happens when advertising enters the conversation.
