Imagine paying money to see 2 fucking ads before a video.

[-] skittle07crusher@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 month ago

As another reply said already

Imagine cable tv! (in the US at least, and, it seems, Canada, too)

It is so absurd until you realize people already accepted that shit.. wtf!!!

[-] Black616Angel@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 month ago

Yes, but this is german and in Germany most TV is free with ads or paid without ads.

[-] Anivia@feddit.org 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No, most TV in Germany is either paid and with ads (ARD, ZDF, or private stations with HD+) , or free and with even more ads (RTL, Pro7 etc. in SD resolution). Paid TV without ads (Sky) is only used by a small minority

And the few ad supported stations that are free are only free if you use Satellite TV, half of Germany still uses cable TV and has to pay a monthly fee to Vodafone for those, in addition to our broadcasting fees that everyone has to pay

Okay, it is possible to get them for free (except the ÖR which I forgot, because the fee is mandatory for each household) which is what I meant but yes, there are lots of ads, but american TV also has I would say as many ads.

Source: also German

Its like going to the local cinema, ads before the movie.

[-] gmgmgm@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

I went to a Regal Cinema for the first time a few months ago and they played 20 minutes of ads that began at the advertised movie start times. Insane.

[-] thisbenzingring 16 points 1 month ago

It's been that way forever, I remember looking at my watch and thinking about it in the 90s

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Was that the first time you've ever been to the movies? It's been like that for decades. Always go in 20 minutes after the start time.

[-] gmgmgm@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Last time I went it was in black and white and accompanied by an orchestra

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

I apologize, Captain Colonel Settlements.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

It's always been that way. Previews interspersed with coke ads.

[-] Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

I went to my local theater expecting this and ended up missing the first ten minutes of Venom 3. I guess the moral of the story is... Shop local?

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I went to my local theater expecting this and ended up missing the first ten minutes of Venom 3

Win win.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

That's stupid. Why would you go to the movies just to walk out before it even started?

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 month ago

If it’s past the start time and it’s not on then why would I expect it to come on?

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Because you're not a five year old.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 month ago

We have different ideas of what start times mean

I do the same with sports

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Reality trumps idealism.
You're wasting money and time refusing things you know are going to happen.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

And that's always been bs. But at least then I can get tmy seats online and show up "late"

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Imagine paying money to watch YouTube.

[-] ElCanut@jlai.lu 6 points 1 month ago

You just described Amazon Prime TV

[-] Resonosity@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Imagine not using NewPipe, which has no ads and can play music in the background while you use other apps simultaneously (Samsung only feature I've heard, but still)

[-] Black616Angel@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

I use vanced, but NewPipe is also great.

[-] greencactus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Or imagine installing uBlock Origin and not seeing ads at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

YouTube really promoted uBlock more than uBlock could even promote itself

[-] Faresh@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Don't use ublock, use ublock origin, the latter is open-source and trustworthy.

[-] greencactus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Thank you for the correction! I meant origin and forgot to write it :)
