In the 90s we clamoured for being able to subscribe to what we want rather than a single

We broadly have that now.

I subscribe to Youtube, Spotify, Netflix, Disney, Apple, Paramount, BBC. Only Apple and BBC force adverts on me, and Apple I'll be cancelling because of it. I keep BBC more out of moral reasons as I think it's a net good for the UK.

The monthly cost is very reasonable to me, inflation wise its about the same as I paid for BBC and Sky in the 90s.

Last night we wanted to watch the 2012 Les Mis film, £3.50 to rent it from Apple. In the 90s, inflation adjusted, it cost £8 to rent the tape.

If I can subscribe to watch something without adverts, I will. If I can buy or rent it, I will.

If I can't do that though, then I'll get it elsewhere.
