Ugh. Though they've certainly succeeded in making free content as inaccessible as possible, so I mostly haven't been using them.

I honestly assumed they stopped offering it some time ago—I wasn't able to find a way to the content the last time I tried.

I did, too. But I got a paid subscription longer ago than that - there was some specific thing that made it worthwhile.

I pay extra to get rid of the commercials. SO WORTH IT.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Me too, Tom. I'll gladly pay to not have commercials.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think this is the showrunners' way of leaving the door open a sliver for possible season 2. I have mixed feelings. While I loved these characters, I think this particular story has been told and it would be a mistake to bring the entire cast back for S2. If they wanted to do a second season, it'd be smarter to do an anthology-type structure with maybe a thematic connection. Or bring one or two characters back but not the entire set-up.
Agreed. I like leaving that story with a couple of unanswered questions. A whole new story in a similar style would be of interest to me but I'd rather it be all new characters.
