I don't even mind the expense so much. It's the experience. I'd happily pay more just to have TV watching be a pleasure. This whole app experience where you have to pull out your phone and log into some site over and over again when it "forgets", learn multiple UIs, have commercials that mess with you (Choose a commercial to "interact" with for 3 commercials, or choose to watch 6 commercials!)
It's just awful. It makes me miss CRTs with rabbit ears and a VHF and UHF dial.
I agree somewhat. But I have an Apple TV 4K. The CBS All Access app knows that I’ve already subscribed through iTunes and I subscribe to the no commercials subscription.
As far as apps that use your provider log in, with the Apple TV, you log on once with your provider and with your permission, all of the apps use your system configured login.
