Yet another situation where piracy delivers a much better user experience than trying to pay for content.
- Forgeties79 2y agoMy kids generally watch stuff on my Plex server, but occasionally we have to go over to Hulu or Amazon for something new/something I haven’t yet acquired. It makes me so proud how angry they get when they see an ad lol
- lyu07282 2y agoI love that story. I have a similar or related one: When I was driving with my nephew's a song came on the radio that they liked, we left the car and when we came back they were annoyed why the song didn't resume playing. Broadcast media is as good as dead.

- 7thpower 2y agoWhen we took my 3 year old on her first vacation and stayed in a hotel, she would have a meltdown every time there was a commercial. Her mind could not comprehend because she had literally never had any content interrupted before. I wish I would’ve recorded it. Anyway, we now have a fire stick that lives in our luggage.
- JKCalhoun 2y agoHa ha, same here. The only ads my daughters ever saw on TV growing up were the ones between PBS shows. Staying in hotels was a real eye-opener for them. Of course now that they are adults I get the blame for their having missed out the cultural touchstone that was apparently Sponge Bob Squarepants.
- 7thpower 2y agoI love that. Although, I prefer not to be reminded they will grow up. I would freeze time if I could.
