At the very least they could not increase prices while simultaneously putting ads.

Yep, the cable industry used to do this. Add more ads but increase fees to viewers. Streaming is the new cable.

I agree it sucks, but I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed to do it.

I think your question is reasonable, but no, I do not think a company gets to promote a service as having no ads as part of the sell, and then put ads in by default.

They can do it legally if it's within the terms. Otherwise it's bait-and-switch.

I can't sign a contract with you for $10/month for no ads and then start showing you ads.

Because I have a better life to live than always monitoring which shitty company wants to scam me out of my attention and money next.
