It's like paying for cable back in the day but you also get ads. The sheer audacity they think they can get away with because they consider themselves having a monopoly.

Didn't cable have ads too?

The amount of ads I see in life compared to the 90s is still drastically reduced.

They have a government granted temporary monopoly.

Except you can cancel it from the next month with a few clicks.

Back when I had cable it was all like 15 minutes of content blocks separated by 30-minute blocks of ad. Because fuck me, I guess.
