If subscribing and paying for services actually guaranteed ad-free, useful and complete experiences, then yes I would gladly pay. When iTunes made buying songs for a dollar easy, I paid hundreds of dollars for them, because it gave me exactly what I wanted at a fair price.

Now, when you sign up for a service, you're still getting ads, you're still getting paywalls around the movies and shows you really want to watch, you're still getting your data mined and sold. You're still paying more than you would have paid for premium, ad-free cable TV back in the old days.

It's useless. I want to pay for good experiences and services, but they ain't offering it.
