The biggest change to me is how much the streaming services are pushing commercials now. Paying to watch commercials really completes the transition back to cable.

Paying to watch commercials will be a no from me. I remember people did this but it is still hard to believe. 1/3 of the content per hour is ads, they are all repetitive and stupid. Except now they are repetitive and stupid despite selling all your data to the advertisers.
