Can’t wait for ads to be grotesquely injected into any video on big streaming sites. If you don’t want reruns of Cheers to have distracting ads for Rings of Power you better spring for Prime Platinum. Even the heroes at uBlock Origin are going to have a hard time filtering out injected ads on some YouTuber’s bedroom wall.
I can’t even watch sports in real time. I have to let it buffer so I can fast forward through breaks and such.
Still a lot of ads on uniforms and all over the stadium, but it’s mostly the audio (that is often louder than what you’re watching) and the break in continuity for commercial breaks that pisses me off the most.
What’s worse is this even makes attending the game in person miserable. I know many very passionate college football fans who show up hours before the game to hang out with friends, and then more times then not end up leaving the game itself early. Why? Because the game itself is a drag. If a game is televised, they add extra breaks to the game to accommodate ads. The game gets stretched out from something of reasonable length to some absurd 3-4 hour long slog. People then only stick around if the winner remains unclear. If the games were a more reasonable 2 hour length, with more engaging and constant action, then most folks would stay to the end.
