Because you are still paying the streaming service, and then they serve you ads.

Nope. They have a free model that is ads supported and a paid model that is not and doesn't have ads. That's my point. If the nitro ad was just a banner at the bottom of the app that would be one thing. But instead it shows up randomly as a notification like it's a message. That's garbage.
