Seeing that fee just makes me think of watching TV.

Nowadays, I like to follow dramas on official platforms less and less. I used to buy memberships on several platforms, planning not to renew, and started to cheat.
Before, as long as you had VIP, there were no ads, the picture quality was the best, and you could log in on multiple devices, plus you could block ads.
Now, after paying for VIP, if you want to watch in high quality, you need to pay for SVIP, and ads don’t appear at the beginning but are inserted directly into the show. Phones and TVs can’t sync, and then there are screenings that cost a few bucks per episode. After two episodes, you must have a membership.
No money for screenings, so you have to watch a bunch of ads. Now, following a drama costs more money, but the content is less, and it’s even more troublesome.
In the past, Qvod and Storm Player were really awesome, but unfortunately, they went bankrupt.
