People aren’t stealing the content because why? Are people just stupid now? Its easier than it was in the 00s…

I’m paying for Disney+ ad free and they still show ads, they just have a skip button.

I paid $23 for a year of YouTube premium from one of those key sites and 4 months in it’s still working. I’m not sure how that works, in my country YouTube premium is $28 per month. Was glad not to give google any money, wish it was free for everyone, and understand somewhere in there they’re getting paid. I just can’t stand when my kid or Grandma and Grandpa would come over and watch YouTube on TV. It was the only time ads would play in my house and I hated it.

So what does this actually mean? What are advertisements? Like functionally what the singing frog are they doing? Why do the wealthy and their corporations want to do it so desperately?

You post this on a piracy forum? Sorry, I don’t get any ads on my downloads.

Between pihole and sponsorblock I haven’t seen a video ad in ages.

I get what they’re trying to say but streaming is and always has been a luxury by itself.

I will never understand how advertisements pay for things… Like who’s out there thinking “hell yeah, I really want to support this shit that’s interrupting everything I try to do every few minutes!” The stuff that people do buy that are advertised to them I always assumed were things they’d buy anyway like junk food and snacks.
