Comment on Streaming Is Now Just As Crowded With Ads As Old School TV
Donjuanme@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoDisney used to run ads for their other shows on Disney channel, no non-Disney things, but they were still interspersed, that was a child formed in my brain what an ad was to be “anything that delays the content is an ad”. Pedantically FBI warnings and producer logos are ads.

Yeah bit ad is short for advertisement.
Advertisements have always been something to make you buy something you wouldn’t otherwise think of buying. Okay yeah a preview for content that’s on the same platform can be like an ad, or a type of ad, but I’ve already paid for the streamijg service so it’s not really trying to get me to spend extra money on something else.
As for FBI warnings and producer logos (besides displaying the logo of whomever made the thing you’re already watching), what are they advertising?
