You're right, and the same applies to Spotify unless I'm mistaken. I didn't mean to imply otherwise, although I didn't make it clear.
It doesn't change my argument much, both Netflix and Spotify (in their paid versions, I know Spotify has ads in the free stream) basically allow customers to pay for content in a way that doesn't ruin it the way the OP described with Gladiator and the popups, and with the generally poor experience of bundled cable TV.
