Open it to continue watching a show- 2 minutes of ads. Find the episode, start it- 2 minutes of ads. Forward to the part I left off at, 2 minutes of ads.

Fucking garbage.

          So in order to circumvent ads. I have to add several different apps, learn how they work, and then set it all up?

          Seems equally annoying. Man I fucking hate how things have become.

            It’s minimal effort to learn, I could teach my 6 year old nephew hire to do it in 5 minutes. It means no ads and no monthly subscription.

            But if you prefer to pay for the opertunity to watch ads and give money to a trump supporter then that’s your choice

            You clearly wanted to moan rather than be given solutions to your problem, so sorry for trying to help

              I chose neither. It’s fucking ridiculous to pay someone else money to do the same thing that paying the app would result in the same outcome. It’s a lateral move regardless of what you tell yourselves.

              Either way someone isn’t getting my money.

                I’m not sure what you’re talking about with paying someone else.

                You know totrenting is free, right?

                I think the upnp app I use I paid about £2 for about 13 years ago, that’s about about one and half pence per month and falling. There’s free options available too.

                  Depends on what country you’re in. In America you could face legal consequences for torrenting without a VPN. Which does cost some money but it’s still far cheaper than paying for streaming services. Unless you’re taking HDD prices into account… I haven’t done the math again since those things quadrupled in price.

                    Because you’re ignoring the alternatives. You moan about how shit paramount plus is, then when people offer alternatives you kick against them.

                    I get that it’s frustrating how crap the ads are, but there are super simple alternatives to get the content you want without worrying about ads.

                    I see the point now, you just want to bitch and moan about the world, and that’s valid. So sorry again for offering an alternative.
