Many streaming subscriptions have ads on their cheapest tiers, requiring you to pay more if you don't want to see ads. And if you're watching anything live, whether it's streaming or cable, you're getting ads regardless.
- hahamrfunnyguy 4y agoI paid extra for the ad-free Paramount Plus. I was getting un-skippable pre-roll ads before and during Star Trek Discovery episodes. I contacted support and they said that ads would sometimes show up during live TV. They didn't have an answer for why ads were showing during Discovery. They pre-rolls would sometimes take 5-10 minutes! I could go fix a snack, put in a load of laundry and when I'd come back the pre-rolls would still be playing. Anyway, other than the programming the service itself was awful and after going through the Star Trek back catalog I cancelled. I may sign up again but after the bad experience, I am not inclined to watch again. I really wouldn't want to watch with ads if they paid me to do it.
