The most noxious ones are the ads for the platform you are served by the platform when using the platform.
Paramount+ plays almost 90s of ads, sometimes ads for the exact show you are about to watch, any time you hit go. That's just heinous.
Still better than the Peacock app though, for which the sound randomly cuts out for a few seconds every minute or two on a device as uncommon and odd as... a Chromecast.
That was when I dropped Hulu. If I'm already paying, I'm not going to sit through ads as well.
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!
