And let’s not forget one of my “favorites”: ads before the content. Sure, for now it’s mostly just promos for their other shows, and it’s generally skippable, but that’s how it starts. They ease you into it, like boiling a frog. HBO and AMC, I’m looking at you. You have, like, two or three shows worth watching at any given time of the year. I don’t need to be reminded about them every damn time I watch an episode. And, FYI, when I’m binging some dark-ass drama series, nothing kills the feeling of immersion like a loud-ass promo for some upbeat sitcom between episodes.
