Seriously launched the app (by accident today) and what is this? They’re trying to play the victim from the big bad ad blockers saying all they’re doing is trying to show an ad at the beginning of video, and then I see all of this crap.

This was after a non-skippable ad at the beginning followed by a totally real “survey” that it wanted me to fill out, one interruption so far in the content, and now three ads on the screen. That’s 45% of the screen dedicated to ads. Freaking ridiculous. “But please turn off your ad blocker”.

    Or if they went back to their old advertisement model, remember when you used to get in line advertisements that played at the bottom of the video. I remember those they weren’t intrusive to the video content and you still saw them. It wasn’t obnoxious as hell and I would bd ok with that

      Those inclined things drove me nuts. Might be a cultu thing in terms of how tv works.

      I have seen recordings of American tv where things like that would advertise the next show so I guess people got stained to mote or less ignore them.

      It’s not a thing that caught on here. At least not while I still had a tv.
