For me, "ads out of nowhere" kills Tubi and other streaming services like it. I wouldn't mind them as much if they were at least timed properly, especially with old TV shows that ALREADY HAVE BUILT-IN AD BREAK. TIMES.
I don't think a paid model is necessarily a bad thing if base Tubi remains free.
So, here's the thing with me and ads on streaming specifically.
I hate them, yes.
But what I hate about them specifically is, unlike cable, the ads aren't timed with the show/movie. There's no ad break cut. Half the time, the ad cuts right into the middle of dialogue, breaking the flow.
Ripper? I hardly know 'er!

All right, brilliant people. I need some nickname suggestions for my two black cats, Ruff & Tuff. When I come home, I go through their nicknames as I greet them.
RUFF: Ruff Stuff, Rufflestillskin, Ruff Rider
TUFF: Mr. Tuff Guy, The Tuffinator, Stay Tuff Marshmallow Man
Look, I'm sorry, but if you're having a lizard problem THIS consistent, you need to call in Spider-Man.
Call @danslott.bsky.social. I think he knows Spidey.
How's it feels to still have a hand in a character you created over 30 years ago? (Genuinely asking and hoping it doesn't make you feel old! 😁)
