QLYA

Yes, the previews. Sorry, I misread.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the post. I was under the impression that they are talking about intros/ads to other shows on the same service.

Example: I start a brand new show and I’m immediately hit with an ad for another show on the same service, before I can watch the show I actually selected.

Apple Music, in the new release section, presented me to SOPHIE and her album by the same name. I had never heard of her before. I read the album description and well… ☠️

I went ahead and listened to the album and I really enjoyed it.

So what’s on my mind? How did I never hear of her before is what I’m wondering. She has ties with a lot of my favorite artists. How did she slip by?

I like your thinking about being part of the team.

I personally like The Office, Parks & Rec, and South Park. I’ve watched them all over and over again, they never get old to me. So I guess my favorite shows are in the comedy genre because I can rewatch them an endless amount of times.

I’ve tried a few episodes of each The Expanse and Severance but I didn’t get too far before I started losing interest. I don’t recall why I lost interest. I should probably give them another go because I do often hear good stuff about them.

Other than comedy, I like Industry, I absolutely loved Midnight Mass (watched it twice), Ozark, Insecure (partly comedy), Black Mirror, and I’m sure there’s quite a few I’m missing.

Thanks! Added to the list

I know a lot of people disagree with me on this, but “just” the intro to a show is still an ad.

I absolutely hate ads and I hate “intros” to shows. They are one and the same. I don’t care if I have the option to tap a button to skip the intro (some services don’t even allow this), end of day is I literally pay for “ad-free” content on these services and they still manage to mess that up.

I’m open to hearing why people are ok with these intros while not ok with normal ads.
