Big streamers are placing more focus on aggressive “pause ads” that pop on screen after a viewer calls for a halt in the action.

    Apparently piracy has broken their revenues so badly that they’re pushing us to more piracy. Hold up.

    I cannot believe anyone pays for this shit. I’m middle-aged, don’t know a lot of people, but I can’t think of hearing anyone IRL talk about paying for a streaming service. I have Amazon, but that’s only because I pay for Prime. (I’m on the bleeding edge of a small town, shit cars, need delivery.) Had Prime tied into my last Kodi box, pirated the content anyway.

    Great story! Sometime around 15-years ago my ex-wife was talking to a stranger in line at Walmart. “You know aXXo! Isn’t he the best! We don’t pay for movies either.” I suppose now it’s YIFY now. :)
