Just rage canceled Paramount+ after seeing the 1 minute of unstoppable ads before each episode.
Then they’ll say people don’t want to pay for content…ffs
We got a skippable 30 second ad, then the Paramount logo, then watched 2 seasons of Star Trek strange New worlds without a single ad.
You sure you didn’t just hair trigger yourself there?
It happened on 2 episodes in a row, with over a minite wait until the episode. Both times the same ad, which makes it even worse, for a 20 min episode of lower decks. I’m sensitive to commercials when I’m already paying premium.
What country are you in because I just turned it on and tried to play an episode of lower decks, and I don’t get any ads, so I’m wondering if it’s only in some parts of the world.
There’s always A/B testing
Yarr harr fiddle dee dee
Do what you want ‘cuz a pirate is free
Surprised that no one here mentioned Pi-hole. It doesn’t work for ads on all streaming apps, but pi-hole successfully removes all ads for my Paramount+ subscription.
I’ve used Pi-Hole for years now and it’s absolutely indispensable. It’s one of those things where you kind of forget about it then you’re over visiting someone’s house without it and it’s absolutely jarring to see ads cropping up all over the place where you’re not used to seeing them.
I know what you mean.
Browsing the Internet at work is a horrible experience. I’m actually shocked at the ad intrusion that I am usually saved from!
Do you mean with your phone on company wifi?
DM me if you need help setting something up to replace it
I appreciate it. I’m trying to get familiar with rss and the sort. I am just a bit scared of the rabbit hole where I’ll end up dedicating a whole room of the house to selfhosting lol
Only one room?
