Not on my media server it ain’t.
Oh high seas there are no ads arr… 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Paywall
I appreciate the article points out AppleTV as being the only one without ads at this point. They also have great shows and the fidelity of the video is good.
Tim Cook sucks at this point, but who ever is running the TV business is doing a good job.
Indeed, i despide apple in almost everything, but apple TV, its shows, the color pallets picked for many shows, their quality, etc is just amazing
I have hated Apple since Jobs was alive and being a dickhead to his employees. With that being said, Widow’s Bay was pretty damn awesome. I sure as shit didn’t pay for it though.
They just added ads to their Maps app, I am 100% expecting them to add ads to AppleTV
In the golden age of television, advertisers paid for the production of content and used the content to sell their wares by placing “commercials” within. Now they no longer produce content but have made deals with the content creators to insert their ads, while the end user, the consumer of content, suffers for it.
Sorry, pure capitalism fails just like pure communism fails. You’re expecting good things for free. -Sorry you’re stuck with below mid garbage. Incentives make the world turn. Communism makes slackers work (at gunpoint).
That’s not how any of that works.
I can’t argue your brilliantly articulated rebuttal. -Go out and keep on winning!
It’s kinda ironic that verge is also paywalled. I guess at least is not ad-walled.
Maybe I should start running ads on my jellyfin server. Something like “want unlimited bluey for a weekend? Clear and load the dishwasher twice this week”
Or “want +16 content? Start being an adult and use the toilet brush”
Ngl that might work on me, gating Bluey behind the dishwasher. At least until the obsession ran out.
You may have just become your parents
some time ago I saw an homeassistant customizatoin where the smartplug for TV would turn on only after the child confirmed they completed a bunch of tasks (homework, putting away toys etc). Sure they could “cheat” but that would just trigger a total ban for a month.
Borrowing this idea.
I saw great potential in streaming. Then physical media started to evaporate. Then everyone started to have their own streaming platform. Then came the ads.
By the time I could have afforded them, it got enshittified. Back to swashbuckling I guess.
Was the plan all along. You gotta pay the same price, but now also watch ads and have it all gone once you stop paying for subscriptions.
I:m so used to block ads on every platform I use. That everytime I’m forced to use an infected version of said platform I’m shocked by the amount of ads that are being shuved down your throat.
🏴☠️
I haven’t watched something with ads in it for many years.
Y’all know how.
Only time is when I stay in hotels and watch their cable. It’s so weird and insulting after freeing myself from them for so long. It breaks up the pace and basically ruins the entire experience.
Add free streaming is a myth now.
-there I corrected it
Yeah. When I heard about cable (as a kid because I heard you paid for it), I imagined it was ad free. And then when I became an adult and experienced cable, I was super disappointed and it made me mildly upset.
I prefer minuses too.
🏴☠️
I must be living a very luxurious life then. Jellyfin has kept the same price for ad-free ‘streaming’, as has Stremio (so far).
