The day video platforms stop offering ad-free streaming options is the day I will stop paying altogether and revert to piracy.

@snazzyq what really is infuriating to me is paying more for “ad free“ and then having an unskippable 40 to 90 second promo before each episode. Looking at you paramount plus.

@MuseumShuffle I have never seen a promo on Paramount Plus.

@nwd well, it’s not uncommon and I see it before every single Star Trek episode I watched.

@MuseumShuffle I wonder if it’s because I use DNS-based blocking on all my devices (NextDNS).

@MuseumShuffle Wait, no. I sometimes watch Paramount+ content with my parents when I’m at their house. Never had a promo video, and they don’t use DNS-based blocking.

@nwd it was literally every single episode of Picard for me. The finale had an unskippable 90 second promo. I could not cancel that service fast enough when the finale was over.
