Op-ed: Apps promised to free us from ad-supported subscription bundles. Oops!

    I guess I never stopped. Still have subs though, but might cancel that somewhere in the future.

      I still have Netflix, but only because they still haven’t bothered me about account sharing. The moment they do, It’s going away.
