Given my entertainment options, I found a small developer that sells an app that allows me to pull streams through my phone and transcode it and chromecast it to my projector. Juijitsu Kaisan never looked so good for $2.
Comment on And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere
hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year agoYeah it’s crazy. We have TV plan with some 100 channels bundled up with internet, and sometimes rarely when I watch TV I’m just baffled by the fact a paid service still is full of ads

We let it happen. You either put your foot down at the first instance of this thing or you lose any ability to do it because it eventually gets so big you can’t stop it without some whole new technology. But there’s always going to be people who say “how else are people going to pay for websites if not advertising” I say not my fucking problem. Just like robbing my free time with bullshit ads wasn’t their problem.

I am a strong proponent of finding other hobbies, but I have never been a fan of tv in general

This is really the best option. Plus media server

The creator of the radio and even the US government were wary of the idea of introducing ads into American living rooms, but look at us now.
