I will probably sign up only because I know they need the money. There are not enough perks for 99% of people though. Like, getting the latest news on Broadway shows? And being able to enter a drawing for show tickets? Cool. Broadway isn't opening for half a year so......
I get that they need ad revenue but with the implicit recognition that the intrusive videos are something that one would pay to avoid, one must ask why they exist in the first instance. They are not a revenue stream. Are they just a form of digital sadism?

And I would imagine that a substantial portion of their ad revenue comes from shows. How will they feel when avid users of the site will be able to avoid the very ads those shows want the users of this site to see?
I just signed up here and definitely enjoying the experience of having some ads (which I don't mind) but less. I also really like the alerts feature which I set up for a few stars I never want to miss on stage, screen or stream.
