What they had like 10 years ago a couple ads here and there. Not 5 minutes ad 5 minutes ad 5 minutes ad 5 minutess ad.
Interesting. I didn’t think anyone was cool with any ads.
I'm fine with reasonable ads. Plex Live TV has ads that don't always get caught by NextDNS for me and it's always some local business and like 30 seconds, NBD it's a free service and needs to operate somehow and I'm not aware of any major privacy breaches from Plex. I feel the same way about YT video sponsor segments, they don't always get caught by ReVanced, also, NBD the creator also needs to get paid for their work.
