Comment on Streaming Ads Are So Much Worse Than Traditional Ad Breaks | MZS | Roger Ebert
xyzzy@lemm.ee 7 months agoParamount used to show no ads whatsoever for their no-ads plan, but now they show an ad at the beginning for another show. For the longest time it was unskippable, but at least now these can be skipped.
Hulu does the same thing. No ads should mean NO ads!
YouTube does this on paid content. I bought It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia but it has ads for other FX shows (Mayans, Cake, Sons of Anarchy) baked in to the first 30 seconds and last 60 seconds of some episodes.
It also has a teaser that is the last item in each season’s playlist, which is an ad for the season you just watched :/
These companies think ads are the best thing in the world. They can’t imagine a world without them. That’s evidenced by what that other person just said, them showing you a generic Paramount ad while you’re watching a video on your paid Paramount subscription. Just fuck off, you clueless bitches!

That was when I dropped Hulu. If I’m already paying, I’m not going to sit through ads as well.
