Sponsors, not ads.
Ie sections of the actual video the creator uploaded, dedicated to their own sponsors. Not the extra video ads youtube then puts in as well.

It's a reverse proxy infront of you're services. That's fundamental to how a RP functions. Just like your own reverse proxy.
They do sometimes; but they also comply with takedown notices. Thing is, they all mirror each other's data and are located globally. Take one down, 2 more pop up outside your jurisdiction; and files that get taken down are only taken from one provider at a time, while others pick up the slack. It's an endless game of wack-a-mole that's essentially a waste of time.
This is why it's somewhat important to have more than one provider in seprate jurisdictions but not absolutely critical. You can move from one to another pretty seamlessly.
Honestly I think that's perfectly fine.
You get ample opportunity to try the service you've paid for, usually at a cheaper bulk price vs monthly, and to decide you don't like it and refund your purchase. Beyond the 30 days is just you changing your mind and going back on a deal you made.
Why should the company have to come up with a refund just because you later decided you didn't need/want as much as you'd bought?
If it stopped working after the 30 days, sure you should be able to get a refund; but just because you decided you don't want it anymore? Most retail stores have a 30day refund window... Beyond that is an added courtesy
That's down the the indexer you decide to use. The one I use (NZBGeek) does have a requests section where you can enter an IMDB id, TVDB id, or just a general description and any other necessary/desired details like quality and they'll be filled by volunteers.
TBH not something I'd actually looked into until now. I'm gonna go drop a request or two in there right now. There's not much I'm missing, but the things I am I haven't been able to find regardless of source.
From a user aspect: nowadays all that is burried in/handed by the usenet client you use.
Downloading from usenet is very similar to torrenting in that you receive an index file (.nzb) that is effectively equivalent to a torrent file. You pass that to your usenet client, and it'll handle downloading each of the parts, called articles, then stitching them together into the actual file shares. (while even recovering missing/corrupted data via added parity data)
The big difference is you're downloading each of these articles from whichever usenet providers you've configured; instead of from random individual peers discovered through public/private trackers.
Usenet providers usually offer more consistent and faster speeds, typically saturating my disk write speed; where as torrent peers are often slow or unreliable in comparison. Also as it's a standard tls connection between you and a private service, and you don't have to re-upload the data you download; you're not exposed to copyright claimants and don't need a vpn.
Since you edited to add a section of the terms:
All that section says is you have to explicitly cancel the service yourself. Selling the vehicle you use the service in and not using it via another vehicle/device doesn't cancel the service for you.
This is so you can't sell the vehicle then, 6 months later when you realize you've still been paying for a subscription, demand a refund for the service you didn't/couldn't use anymore but hadn't actually cancelled.
There's nothing nefarious here.
Newsgroups = usenet.
....so, you can cancel, and you can get a refund...

I already threw it out
Are you getting this from some mail flyer or something?
Gotta wonder what their plan is. The lawsuit was an obvious outcome, and they haven't exactly made much effort to make their actions appear legal.
I don't see AA winning this one. Data's out there though; no taking that back. Maybe they've just accepted the consequences... A martyr as it were.
