They advertise as extra $ for ad free, but then they put ads in it. That's dishonest.

What I have to do whenever I watch a show is start the show, get the pre-roll, exit out, then start the show again. It's annoying and a stupid hoop to jump through just to not have to watch the same pre-roll over and over.
