Looking at calculated stats from 2016 which admittedly are out of date showed an ARPU of $6.70 a quarter. Assuming that has gone up by 10x and it’s $70 per quarter I think a paid service is well within the realm of possibility.

That's fine. But consider how the Netflix and Amazon model are following Hulu towards "ad supported" media, despite already being a paid-for service.

I don't think there's a threshold at which data providers will sincerely exempt the individual from surveillance and ads. Even if its something you're offered, all you're purchasing is deception. You'll still get your data siphoned surreptitiously. And you'll still get promos and teasers and native ads that the streaming service gets paid to show you.
