      Convenience, I’d imagine. Not everybody wants to deal with ads or self-hosting.

      I also know someone that subs to a pirate streaming site that they use for learning English. It has a solid library but also has dual subtitles on everything and categories based on vocabulary difficulty and accents. It’s cheaper than a single legit subscription, but has way more value (both the language stuff and the massive pirated library).
