Bold prediction: if ads on paid streaming services become the norm, there will be a renaissance of piracy because it will once again offer the superior user experience.

I have to disagree with you.

Coming from a country where media consumption used the be expensive, the reason people pirated entertainment was mainly due to cost. Not because it was inconvenient to see an ad.

Streaming will still be miles more convenient than piracy. All I have to do is turn on my apple tv, grab the remote and watch whatever I want, whenever I want. I don’t have to dig through some torrent sites, download it, then stream it to the tv.

I have access to apple TV, the service, but it is easier for me to use Kodi on a raspberry pi to watch it. Make of that what you will. I know there needs to be a hub for all of the streaming services, and the options seem imperfect in one significant way or another.
