Netflix believes that it’s difficult to compete against the free entertainment piracy offers. Not only that, it’s growing rapidly too.

It is not the “free” in entertainment. I have no problems paying for a proper streaming service. It is a service, after all, and the people who made the content deserve to be paid.
BUT: I can understand that people turn to piracy when the quality of the product (streaming service) degrades beyond recognition while prices rise through the ceiling. I can understand that people are pissed when they already subscribe three “big” streaming services, and then notice that the film they just wanted to watch is no longer available in any of the three, because it moved off to yet another provider, but in turn they are also force-fed brainless ads like one would expect in a free to view service.
