I am sure there are also deals where I can get a monthly anal probe with a cactus. I won’t be doing that either. Actually it’s a toss up as far as which one is worse.




netflix ads tier was very usable for the first month, then the ads became suffocating.

all the other ads tiers are pretty painful. but none are as bad as broadcast TV.

I don't watch streaming a lot, and the Ads tiers are a great way to use the service for a month or two until I tire.


The last time I watched broadcast TV, I had a DirectTV box with first TiVo and later their own pretty good DVR. I think I had my first DirectTivo in 2003. It’s been over two decades since I sat through commercials regularly outside of the occasional big event sports as social gatherings or award shows we watch live to discuss with friends on social media

they can be a welcome break. if you mute the ads, they are hardly distracting. good time to check the phone, get a snack etc.

The ads are repetitive usually drugs or snacks so they are easy to tune out.
