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?

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?

I don’t get why 3, 10, 14, 18, 19, 20 and 22 would be on that list. Some of those arw completely normal words on their own. Okay Low taper fade probably references something but I don’t get it

Just started a playthrough of Black Mesa, after having played HL1 like fuck idk, 18 years ago? Barely remember it, but going through the levels I’m like “Oh yeah I remember this part, with the mine cart/train thingies”
Looked at screenshots of HL1 the other day and laughed that I will never play it ever again

I went through my girlfrriend’s cashier lane at the grocery store for 3 years before fingering out how to get her number without not being just another dick rolling through when she has an endless supply to choose from. Turned out she had been waiting the entire time for something to happen
