Apple put some ads up for other shows of theirs, but made them skippable

TBH I don’t get why we call those ads. Back in the day of VHS/DVD, we called those previews. That’s still how I think of them, and imo there’s a difference between that an an advertisement, which would be for a car, investment app, brand of tampons, etc that have nothing to do with the streaming platform’s content they have to offer.

Why do we lump the two things together?
