MODERATORS
Advertising isn’t inherently negative, but people naturally push back when they feel their attention is being taken for granted. Respect for the audience makes all the difference.
No kidding.
Like most of my streamimg is the cheaper ad versions, regular commwrcuals, usually not meaningful, sometimes a bathroom break.
My daughter watches Youtube for music sometimes on the TV though. Good god those are the WORST "ads". So many try to be like 10 minutes long unless you skip. Many feel like some random peraon reading from a card, production quality all around is ass.
I can't change the DNS on the router or TV and keep meaning to set up a new router to block the TV ads through DNS.
