When the company has an ongoing cost - such as they have to make new content every year, then it makes sense for you to pay an ongoing cost each month.
But when the company has no mandatory ongoing cost it makes ZERO sense to pay them rent.

Yep, like BMW charging to use your heated seats.
That's interesting. My LG TVs don't do that, but I have never accepted their user agreement. Have you?
Mine sit behind a pair of AppleTVs with no network access of their own so their ad BS is hidden from me, and the TVs don't keep asking for a network.

The key is the last word is his nom de guerre. It's not an idle word....

FB is dead and it doesn't attract young people at all anymore. Insta will follow in due course.
Insta will follow when it's filled with all of the parents who have "graduated" from Facebook.
That being said, I wonder if paying for no ads includes no tracking across the internet, and no selling of the user's data. After all, the "if it's free you're the product" mantra doesn't (heh...shouldn't) apply any more.
"Some Private Equity Firms Doomed "
Good. That's akin to "cockroaches get squished."
...to see Louis Rossman rant about this latest debacle.
LOL, already on YouTube.
...to see Louis Rossman rant about this latest debacle.
The world's richest man and the president of the United States are now openly fighting.
Trump threatened to cancel Space X government contracts and Musk accused Trump to be a frequent flyer to the Pedophile Island. This would be highly entertaining if not for the potential to wreck companies, ruin the economy, and sabotage legislative agenda.
