I was watching ads during Invincible and thinking I should just pirate this show I already pay for.

We're talking about a service one pays for, correct?

You pay for the service, you pay to rent shows, and then you watch so many ads it'll be cable levels in five years at this rate

Streaming services are becoming (or has become) the new cable tv.
