Why would I pay $120-140 for cable every month and be forced to watch tons of ads when. I can pay <$20 for Hulu or NFLX a month and watch none?

Give it time, forced advertising is inevitable.

Because of every asshole I've seen say things like "it's only a couple ads, I don't mind that. Get over yourself."
