    I remember back in the day, they at least inserted the commercials by hand and usually put them in during a scene transition or something to not fuck up the pace.

    The Internet and streaming services are fucking lazy and just insert ads every X seconds or whatever, which can often lead to an ad being played mid fucking sentence. It’s so much worse than watching a movie on public access cable with ads and censorship. At least those ads are carefully edited in, and not thrown about willy-nilly. And the censorship can be just as funny (this is what happens when you find a stranger in the alps, Larry!).

      That is not laziness. This is a typical dark pattern, designed that way on purpose to annoy you into paying.

      Youtube (without ad blockers) is the absolute worst at this, as it seems to insert mid roll ads specifically to disrupt the video.
