    Sky TV takes ‘The Last of Us’ from HBO, which has no commercials, puts commercials in it and then charges you if you want to skip those commercials.

      Yup. Every cable channel has done that for forty+ years.
      Thats not unique or new.

        But cable TV like all services when it first came about did not have ads. You paid for cable at first because it had no ads compared to antenna.
