Amazon of the "prime" example of a new-er tech company that bought their way into a monopoly and they used it to gouge people while providing bad service. Uber being the other obvious one.
As for video specifically, I mostly watch older shows from the 80s and 90s. Do they have everything I'd like to watch? No, but there is enough to watch an episode a few times a week.
However, I won't pay this additional fee and I'll cancel after they show me the 1st ad.
