Sky doesn't make sense

A bloke at the shopping centre stopped me to ask if I was interested in Sky TV. I watch a few shows they have, so I decided to hear what he had to say.
This is where it gets weird. Apparently you pay them a subscription but the programmes still have adverts in them! I'd be livid if half way through DVD some adverts came on, or my Netflix steam was interrupted with a pop-up. It sounds like you have to "pay" twice, one subscription and then again by watching adverts. Do they think my time and attention are free?!
So then I listed the shows I like and asked how much it would cost. Turns out it's really, really expensive because you can't just get the shows you want out access to the whole catalogue with one payment, oh no. You have to get individual channels and bundles separately. It's like a really expensive internet connection and then each bundle is a really expensive streaming site with a tiny catalogue. And you have to record it all yourself, it's not even on-demand.
Who on earth pays for this rubbish?

I watch everything online.
It annoys my wife when she watches her latest series on Sky and I say I've seen it and tell her who dunnit :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: .
Sport is still expensive though.
Most of the Sky channels can be found on freesat
I really don't understand why people pay so much due Sky, especially when they make you pay twice with adverts.
