    On cable once they came out with DVRs you could skip the ado. Now there are unskippable ados and it’s much worse.

        I use sponsorblock, it’s great, but it only applies to that type of streamer content/ad. And it doesn’t have full coverage for that. It doesn’t help if your streaming service has unskippable ads. And Google is inching closer to insert ads into the Youtube video stream dynamically which will make them truly unblockable.

        With Spotify you can’t even mute an ad without it pausing until you unmute.

          I know it suck overall.

          It’s a lot less convenient and definitely past the gray line, but I pay for Spotify premium (optional), but pretty much never actually listen to music via Spotify. https://github.com/spytify
