Just rage canceled Paramount+ after seeing the 1 minute of unstoppable ads before each episode.

Then they’ll say people don’t want to pay for content…ffs

    What country are you in because I just turned it on and tried to play an episode of lower decks, and I don’t get any ads, so I’m wondering if it’s only in some parts of the world.

      I have a subscription in the US and have been watching Picard and Lower Decks – the few ads I get are their up front spam promoting other shows (I hit reload and the ‘forced’ up front ad switches to the CBS logo and plays in a couple of secs). Another show I watch has a few ads, I think the are trying to see how much they can get away with before people cancel. I bought a year at 1/2 price and I won’t be reupping, its a pretty low value and quality streaming service on all fronts (ads, content, video quality, app/site navigation and player, absolutely no useful technical support if their player or service is glitching, cable company class customer avoidance policies and systems).

      The video quality on easynews is also much better should I want to watch more star trek in the future.
