Of course they'll suffer, but they don't care... as they'll keep finding ways to persuade their customers to stay subscribed to them, by telling them how great these streaming services are, and treating ads like it's normal to have shoved in our faces 24/7 . So they know some people will just grin and bear the ads. Even on regular telly the ads get on my nerves.

They won't entice me though, even this Christmas I cheated and watched Candy Cane Lane & Genie through the internet completely ad free . I wasn't going to sign up to sky cinema & Amazon Prime just for 2 movies lol .

As soon as a new business model starts up (which admittedly will be far away from now most likely) I could easily see the Streamers falling if they have 8 minute Adverts breaking up the episodes.

I actually have nothing personal against Adverts themselves, but how excessive they are, I think that I'm speaking for most viewers in saying that you want to watch your TV Show that you've picked to watch, not 5 different Adverts talking about having Erectile Dysfunction.

And Piracy is definitely a valid option for people these days if you want to avoid Corporate scummy behaviour.
