Here's the problem: the alternative is ads, and I don't think the ad model is sustainable.

I'm going to make a snarky old man statement. I don't mean it in a belittling way it's just something I do.

Start reading books, there are no ads. Reading is more difficult than watching television but boy it's amazing when you find a great story and you just can't put the book down.

Books that are more than 15 years old? Yes.
