not shocking. streaming stuff like netflix was supposed to be the cheap, content filled ad free alternative to cable. increasingly its not cheap as line must go up, its not content filled as every network makes their own bullshit service, and its not ad free either.

At least the ads on broadcast TV are placed appropriately in breaks throughout the TV programming. Some of the streaming services seem to inject ads wherever they feel like, sometimes in mid sentence. It completely turns me off of those streaming services.
