Well you’re correct I pay the upgrad for no ads. You don’t feel it’s worth it. . fine. I also do so on Prime Video. These are the two most popular movie/tv streaming apps. I don’t like having to pay for no-ads I’ve stated this, but sometimes it may be worth it?? You can get adds for $7/mo or no ads for $18/mo and add another member for $7. Thank you for correcting?
LOL sorry but this is a cord cutters forum. You are not going to get many here that support Netflix and/or paying a premium to not see ads. I cannot stand ads and will not watch them under any circumstance on my VOD movies/shows. We have KODI and Stremio for this. Yes I tolerate Ads while watching Live Sports and News

So $25 a month for Netflix with no ads…no thanks Peacock premium, Paramaount Plus w/Showtime Amazon Prime, Hulu with no ads,Max ad free are all cheaper than that. Point being Netflix is not worth the price to me.
But if you are happy with it that’s fine. I merely wanted to point out that Netflix does indeed have ads and is one of the more expensive services out there these days.

I can’t understand why on their website prices range from $7.99 to $24.99.
I just received my notice that NetFlix was increasing to $17.99 a month. I just cancelled. I tried to find out why such a price range and never did.
“to each his own”. . I get it you’re not a fan of Netflix’s streaming fare. While IMO it used to be the best, it’s been reasonably challenged by the other streaming services, including self-produced movies/tv shows. I have Prime Video, Apple TV, Peacock, Max, Showtime, Paramount+, PBS Passport, and any other ad streaming video sites, besides my side-loaded fire sticks. . .and I find I use Netflix more than any other service. Maybe I’m just looking their first, but any new (interesting to me) series I find on Netflix, and if pay-per-view, I go to the fire stick.
I’m dumping my Xfinity Comcast cable (Peacock free, Showtime/Max) and will be going to more all inclusive streaming service like Hulu but must have local channels. . Suggestions?
Everybody is different so these kinds of questions are more about what you want, still, here is my two cents 
If you don’t have an antenna and even if you do… Hulu is good, covers Fox and ABC a long with some cable channels like FX as well as some good Korean series. Peacock isn’t great but does cover NBC of course, Paramount Plus is actually pretty good IMHO and covers CBS.
However, my favorite service is Apple Plus mostly high quality original content.
I have Netflix but I am close to dumping it, this last rate hike really is annoying. They add content all the time but the overall quality isn’t what it use to be, again IMHO.
I dropped both Paramount Plus and Peacock and during Black Friday they both sent me offers, Peacock ad free, one year 20$ and Paramount Plus w/showtime ad free for 60$ so… I’ll probably drop both when they expire.
Geez all those streaming services sound like my $200+ Cable Bill several years ago before I dumped them. KODI or Stremio + Real Debrid + Trakt + a good IPTV service for less than $10/month gives you everything you are getting on all these streaming services and more. and most is commercial Free to boot! Just saying this IS a cord cutters site

I don’t think cord cutters means strictly 
content.
If everyone did that, there wouldn’t be any content left to watch with the companies making it having no profit.
$7.99 is basic plan with ads, and some content not available.
$17.99(still $15.49) is Standard no ads, 1080p, 2 connections.
$24.99 is Premium no ads, 4k, 4 connections.
