[–] naught@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago (2 children) it's like 5.99 to watch 45 minute shows with 5+ 120 second ad breaks. I instantly canceled and went an alternate route permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] NoneYa@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] limelight79@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago I pay the higher rate for "ad free", but now I see ads before starting programs. Quite irritating. I assume if I read the fine print, I'll find that "ad free" changed at some point along the line to "fuck you, we're showing ads and you'll like it". We also have numerous issues with the Paramount+ app on our FireTV - frequent crashes, trouble starting playback, and other things. It's by far the buggiest app we use. permalink fedilink source parent [–] uranibaba@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I grew up with ads on TV and I stopped watching TV when I grew older. We have cable subscription now as a package for our internet, but it is not even connected. I own a TV but I only stream. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago I cut the cord so I wouldn't have to watch commercials and there is no way in hell I am ever going back to them. And if they start having ads on all the services, I guess there will be a lot more piracy. permalink fedilink source parent
