My parents still watch cable and the odd time I've seen an ad for some other service advertised as only 12/mo with ads or something like that. Is that supposed to sound good to anyone. All these shit corporations need to get fucked.
This has two effects. First, it is supposed to entice with a "cheap" option. Second, it normalizes ads being part of the experience.
