Not on my media server it ain’t.
I appreciate the article points out AppleTV as being the only one without ads at this point. They also have great shows and the fidelity of the video is good.
Tim Cook sucks at this point, but who ever is running the TV business is doing a good job.
Indeed, i despide apple in almost everything, but apple TV, its shows, the color pallets picked for many shows, their quality, etc is just amazing
They just added ads to their Maps app, I am 100% expecting them to add ads to AppleTV
Maybe I should start running ads on my jellyfin server. Something like “want unlimited bluey for a weekend? Clear and load the dishwasher twice this week”
Or “want +16 content? Start being an adult and use the toilet brush”
Ngl that might work on me, gating Bluey behind the dishwasher. At least until the obsession ran out.
You may have just become your parents
some time ago I saw an homeassistant customizatoin where the smartplug for TV would turn on only after the child confirmed they completed a bunch of tasks (homework, putting away toys etc). Sure they could “cheat” but that would just trigger a total ban for a month.
I saw great potential in streaming. Then physical media started to evaporate. Then everyone started to have their own streaming platform. Then came the ads.
By the time I could have afforded them, it got enshittified. Back to swashbuckling I guess.
In the golden age of television, advertisers paid for the production of content and used the content to sell their wares by placing “commercials” within. Now they no longer produce content but have made deals with the content creators to insert their ads, while the end user, the consumer of content, suffers for it.

I haven’t watched something with ads in it for many years.
Y’all know how.
Only time is when I stay in hotels and watch their cable. It’s so weird and insulting after freeing myself from them for so long. It breaks up the pace and basically ruins the entire experience.
Sorry, pure capitalism fails just like pure communism fails. You’re expecting good things for free. -Sorry you’re stuck with below mid garbage. Incentives make the world turn. Communism makes slackers work (at gunpoint).
“Piracy is a service problem.”
We have a service problem.
The verge: “it started with ads and blabla”.
No.
It started when people were pirating and life was good. Then the streaming came with a good product and a fair price -> people agreed with that and people stopped pirating.
Companies started to enshitify the product, we are now at this point.
I am not suggesting you what to do.
But we all know what TO do.
Not even close
I know a bunch of people on lemmy don’t constitute a diversified survey, but this is verbatim me.
Lemmy: Arrrr!
Big Tech: take away their PC and give them some completely locked down box fully under our control, to protect the children of course. And no more physical media!
The only answer to that is probably board games and books.
or just go to your local library where they have 1000s of dvds/blu rays for you to borrow for free
My library does streaming now, don’t even need to make the trip, it’s pretty awesome.
Stremio your way out of it. I see so few ads in my life that it triggers me whenever I do.
Stremio is enshitifying.

IDK it says it will always be free and all the current features will always remain free. Sounds hood enough for me. But I agree this is something to keep an eye on.

Is IPTV piracy just a European thing then?
My friend here in the States has it. He let me use it for a while. It’s really cool, but finding an IPTV service that’s reliable is a real challenge.
Go to Chinese amazon, search for android boxes and ask for a test they will give you a code. Use tivimax premium as your app, said to be the best.
Tivimate is THE app for IPTV on Android. But it seems providers are scarce in the US so regardless of software that is a problem.
Yeah, follow the instructions and get direct access you dont need a reseller. I pay 35 a year for everything available direct to a seller on one of the chinese marketplace sites
This was the plan the entire time
