Arrrrrr
I’ll take “How did this television get a bullet hole in it?” for 300
Note to self: Hi self, you’re awesome! Thanks for not spending all my money on streaming services that treat you like shit, and keep raising prices. I shall continue to not buying peacock…or hulu…or netflix.
“No commercials version, $3 extra…may contain commercials.”
Fuck the core concept of that.
I was on an airplane the other day, the ticket advertised free wifi, but in reality you have to watch ads to unlock minutes.
Edit: should also add the whole time we were delayed it showed ads that can’t be turned off, then when you take off it has a 4 minute unskippable (and undimmable) ad, then they put ads on the little airplane progress screen.
Worst flying experience of my life.
Which airline was this?
yeah I need to know who’s doing this fuckery so I can avoid it
If this had been posted 2 months ago, I’d say “hopefully it’s Spirit or Frontier”. Because I avoid those airlines anyways.
But seeing as it’s being posted now, I’d say we can rule our Spirit.
Hopefully it was Frontier. Because I refuse to fly that airline at all. Though, I think we can rule them out too. They’re too cheap for screens in the seats.
spirit’s a ghost airline now :D
plane rides are one of the only places left where the notifications can’t find me
You can put your phone in airplane mode even if you don’t have a flight. I’ve tried; it works! I tell my phone when it’s time to get notifications. The elation is indescribable.
Also scheduled summary and ruthlessly culling notification permissions. The minute an app disrespects my attention and time, their permissions get revoked.
Here’s what you missed! Don’t forget to log in!
Yeah nah
I remember watching TV a while ago. I think it was paramount?. But for every 5 minutes of movie they played 10 minutes of commercials. It was the most infuriating thing I ever saw. Abandoned the movie after 30 minutes.
Pirate everything
/uninstall & cancel
I noticed this on a relative’s YouTubeTV, that when I paused to read the screen, it threw garbage up on the screen over the text. “Mildly infuriating” is right!
Wtf is this a tv thing or a youtubeTV thing? Or 3rd party YouTube app?
And they just raised their subscription price. 😆
Well they need to pay their teams of engineers dedicated to adding ads everywhere, that ain’t cheap!
Got an ipTV box earlier this year and immediately cancelled everything. Saving hundreds of dollars. I strongly recommend finding someone to hook you up.
Good list but https://jellyfin.org/
I wanted to use jellyfin, but it’s not quite there yet.
That said emby’s live streaming of FAST streams is so bad that I keep a channels subscription active just to use as a buffer.
Also your local public library has a lot of stuff
Jellyfin
I’ve never once had a commercial on Jellyfin.
I put some classics on mine like the one with ‘what are you sinking about?’
This seems more than mildly infuriating
