Counter points:
When the ad loads and the show doesn't, I just find a torrent of the show I want to watch. When it keeps happening, I'll downgrade my subscription to the lowest tier or just cancel it.
When the ad server crashes, fails to load the ad, and error messages are thrown instead of moving on to the show, I'll downgrade my subscription to the lowest tier or just cancel it.
The fewer subscriptions, means ads will have to be sold for cheaper as they'd be less valuable to advertisers.
Ad-free models cap profits. You can only sell as many subscriptions as there are people. Ad-supported models can make infinite money.
The biggest issue is that subscription income isn't tied to titles, which each individually cost money (see: the Matt Damon clip about DVD sales).
Has not and never will be more than a pipe-dream invented in boardrooms by assholes shooting their industry in the foot. Same shit with "games as a service".
Never say never! Chase your goals and believe in yourself, don't let the haters keep you down!
