    It can get much worse on Paramount+. I wanted to check out the new Halo series, so I queued it up. When it got through the second commercial break, it started the video from just before the last commercial break. At first everything seemed normal because it had started showing me scenes I had not seen before, but after a time (suspiciously similar to the commercial break time), I noticed that I’d already watched this part. Once I started skipping ahead I noticed that it had rewound the video to just before where the last commercial break had cut in, played commercials (seemingly without pausing the show), and jumped back into the show. I thought it was just a one off glitch, but at the very next commercial interruption, instead of resuming the stream, it jumped to just before the last commercial break to show me another scene that it had skipped. I gave up on Paramount+ immediately, but we only signed up a trial to watch the Superbowl anyway so… Oh well I guess. Gave up on the Halo show too, what I’d seen wasn’t good enough to pay for or even pirate really.
