      This is absolutely not true as Steam and other niche streaming sites have proven. When you make it easier to buy what you’re selling, rather than doing everything in your power to nickel and dime consumers to pad your stock price, people are fine paying for those services and you don’t need ads.

      Historically speaking, your statement is false, and there are multiple examples to prove it.

          It’s the enshitification of it all. They hike prices while removing features year after year. Corporate greed is never enough.
