      <description><![CDATA[Research from subscription bundling platform Bango, based on a survey of 2,500 US consumers, found that 36% of Americans would tolerate twice as many ads in streaming/subscription services in exchange for a lower monthly price, rising to 46% of Millennials and 49% of Gen Z. The report says US consumers pay for an average of 5.2 subscriptions costing about $69 per month, with 23% saying they spend more than they can afford (41% among Gen Z). Willingness to accept more ads was reported as highest among Apple TV users (52%), followed by Disney+ (48%), HBO/Max (47%), Netflix (44%) and Amazon Prime Video (40%).]]></description>
