Netflix and Amazon rarely show ads, normally just a short 30 second recommendation at that. All streaming in HD in about 5 seconds.

  I think he wasn't talking about legal streaming sites as that was kinda the point of my original post. > All streaming in HD in about 5 seconds. Yeah, until it's not. I mean sure, 20 seconds of low quality is not the end of the world. But there is no reason it should be that crappy. And they are competing against easy and free, having only "moral high ground" as the competitive advantage. So at the very least, they shouldn't be worse.

  “A short 30 second recommendation” sounds like an ad to me.
