They're making people watch commercials on the streaming services now too. There's really only one solution left, matey.

No sir, I am a good Christian Man, raised right.

I mean Larry is a cucumber, and I have heard that country gals make do with what theyve got.

My popup blocker works on streaming so no commercials there.

That doesn't stop, for example, Amazon showing you commercials for other Prime shows before showing you what you want to watch.

That was one of the reasons why I was watching pirated versions of the Amazon shows even when I was paying for prime.

There's a skip button and at least it's for their own content. If they remove the skip button and start advertising unrelated products then fuck em

Paramount+ doesn't have a skip button, but I already gave them up.

Worse, Hulu advertises the fucking show I'm currently watching.
