    They are repeating the cable/broadcast ad service network playbook. All this shit has already been regulated on normal TV, and wasn’t an issue with streaming because before, streaming didn’t have ads like this. Now that they’ve normalized paying monthly fees AND being lasted with ads, the regulation has to play catch-up again. This should be something the FCC regulates, but good luck in this administration.

      The FCC does not have jurisdiction over streaming. Good luck should be wished for the legislature.
