Assuming to artificially secure people with new memberships through their first 4-6 weeks to establish a habit through the first billing cycle. Is this a known thing?

I am pretty sure it is just generally ad sales fall in January a guide to avoid the dip

It doesn't really matter when you block all ads

Doesn't work with streaming services. They eventually detect it and refuse to play anything until you fix it. I had to let hulu through my network block of advertising.
