Yup, that's why I subscribed to Netflix. I refused to get a TV sub because of all the stupid ads. Netflix offered enough of a selection and had no ads. I cancelled my Disney+ sub because I wasn't willing to pay the increased "no ads" price, and I'm trying to convince my wife to drop Netflix because of the increased "no ads" price. We also had problems with both service because we downloaded a bunch of videos to watch offline a week or two in advance (we had back-to-back trips), and we couldn't access our content offline when we needed it.

Ads can suck on a fat one, I'm going back to buying physical media. I don't care too much about the selection, I care about not having ads. I pay for Nebula because, you guessed it, no ads. I would pay for YouTube Premium, but their app sucks for offline viewing, and I'm better off with alternatives (e.g. Grayjay is a much better experience offline than YouTube Premium). I'm willing to pay extra to avoid ads, and the market seems intent on abusing me for it, so I'm noping out.
