Comment on Amazon develops methods for inserting ads onto any flat surface in an existing video
EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 2 days agoI can’t even watch sports in real time. I have to let it buffer so I can fast forward through breaks and such.
Still a lot of ads on uniforms and all over the stadium, but it’s mostly the audio (that is often louder than what you’re watching) and the break in continuity for commercial breaks that pisses me off the most.

What’s worse is this even makes attending the game in person miserable. I know many very passionate college football fans who show up hours before the game to hang out with friends, and then more times then not end up leaving the game itself early. Why? Because the game itself is a drag. If a game is televised, they add extra breaks to the game to accommodate ads. The game gets stretched out from something of reasonable length to some absurd 3-4 hour long slog. People then only stick around if the winner remains unclear. If the games were a more reasonable 2 hour length, with more engaging and constant action, then most folks would stay to the end.
