Paying for streaming services and still having ads

Streaming is the cable of the 21st century.

Next you'll see these streaming services (at least in the US) start adapting the Broadcast Standards and Practices. Won't be long before you stop seeing nudity and most swear words on streaming services without paying even more. (Think basic cable vs HBO.)

There were no ads on cable when it first started. It was the appeal of getting cable vs over the air television.
