In a 30-minute cable TV show, roughly 10 minutes of it is ads. Streaming is nothing like this (yet).

Not all of the awfulness of cable TV exists in streaming, of course. But a whole lot of it does. For example, the fragmentation of streaming among many services is essentially the same as the old cable TV "packages".

But yeah, the paying ones are not.
