      Yeah it’s the skipable promos for their content that’s been a feature on almost every ad-free tier streaming platform for years. Not defending it whatsoever, but it’s not at all what people think it is. You just press 1 extra button and it plays your stuff.

      Still, it is a slippery slope between this and full on cable TV ads in streaming. So it’s also right for people to push back.

      One of my services, peacock, I have isn’t ad-free and I more and more lean towards switching to that style for all. It basically plays all the ads up front, even if you stop and come back to the movie. So I just load up whatever I’m watching and so house work and then no ads.
