Well, what do you know, we didn't see that coming!

Whereas some streaming services are moving in the opposite direction by adding commercials to their subscription service!

Possibly they are doing this to try to keep the monthly charge as low as possible. Which rather than being unwelcome is the opposite if they want people to subscribe
