Just like old cable tv

Just like when cable tv got going, the big deal was no commercials cause the subscriber/viewer pays the fee. After a while they went and added commercials back in so now both the viewer and the provider are paying, instead of the viewer only.

Why is it that people aren't used to getting double screwed like this yet? Nobody has done anything effective in the past to stop it, nor will they now... and I grow so tired of listening to ppl rag about it.

You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. Nobody is a neutral. If you pay for it and take no action to change it, then you're part of the problem.

I think it's more like charging customers for cable access, then charging the channel providers some fee for access to the customer's TV. Think that would work?
