This will become the new norm, but I’m not too mad; this is likely part of these companies preparing to accommodate the writers and actors to end the strike, the ad revenue will be used to pay residuals.
the new norm is the old norm, sailing the high seas.
@realcaseyrollins I suppose that wouldn’t be the worst way to spend the increased profit.

I have Peacock and Paramount for certain sports and they do this too. I Don’t mind it on Peacock, but the way Paramount does it is absolutely terrible and I’ll be canceling my subscription once my yearly special rate expires. Peacock will generally show about 3 minutes of ads then let you watch a whole movie. Paramount seems completely random. Sometimes you’ll have 45 seconds of ads, then you might have 3 minutes of ads less than 5 minutes later. They’ll regularly have 6+ mins of ads in 30 mins.
Subscribers can expect to see an average of 4 minutes of ads an hour at around 15 to 30 seconds each
Isn’t this a lot? I can’t imagine watching a movie and being interrupted every 5 minutes by an ad.
Do they clump them together and play 8 minutes of ads between the two halves of a two hour movie?
Cable tv used to do 42 minute shows with 18 minutes of ads. It probably still does, but it used to, too.
Back in the day sitcoms are 21minutes so around 8-9 minutes if ads in half an hour. 4 minutes is probably tolerable to some. But this is still a paid tier of Netflix right?
It’s probably 1 or 2 minutes of ads every 20 minutes.
