If you just watch the free stuff (and I know that some people have no choice), then of course you have to have the advertisements, otherwise how do you fund the content?
Do you dip in and out of them?

Now TV are starting to lock people who accept offers into 6 month contracts. I'm wondering if this is the start of streaming services becoming less flexible.

Sky was originally free until they had a large customer base & Netflix was cheap and they weren't originally bothered about account sharing. I'm wondering if, now that they are so popular they will start implementing this old business tactic.
