      We’re talking about a gaming streaming platform. How do you think that concept could ever work without a subscription?

      And frankly, adds for the free users really isn’t that outrageous or surprising either. I’m mostly surprised that this wasn’t the case from the start.

          Oh well sorry that I took your “subscriptions suck” literally. I guess what that meant to say was “subscriptions with adds before them suck”. My fault for not figuring this out.

              And yet they are pretty much non avoidable for certain services. And some of those services are really neat.

              My library subscription for example certainly is worth it. So is my public transportation subscription.
