And they are slowly but surely going away. Is this really such a hard concept to grasp?

Netflix for example recently removed the basic plan in Germany, you now either choose the ad-supported (cheaper) plan or the very expensive one. Other services are making similar moves. They are increasing the prices of ad-free tiers to ridiculous levels and will be increasing ads on all tiers over time as well as prices.

Which part do you not understand?

Yes, a generalization over a sample of 1 is really hard to grasp.

I mentioned multiple services. Where the hell do you find a sample size of 1?

Actually scratch that, seems like even prime offers an ad-free plan: https://www.primevideo.com/help?nodeId=TD5EYJIUGQMY13QQdi

So, totally made up problem.

Amazon prime seems to be the only one to not offer an ad-free plan. You tell me.
