I don't own a TV, but I watch several shows online. I end up watching ads on Hulu (for Attack on Titan), AMC (for The Walking Dead), and BBC (for Doctor Who). I fully understand how networks need to make money through advertisement. But for all of these services, it seems like I have to watch the same advertisements dozens of times. I think AMC is the worst offender - sometimes they run the same advertisement multiple times in a row.
Maybe repeated viewings is an effective strategy for advertisers. But is variety too much to ask?
(While I'm complaining, the worst part about online streaming is this. I tune out during an advertisement, and tune back in about 10 seconds after the show has started again. I've missed 10 seconds, so I need to back up. But I back up before the commercial break by accident, and I am treated to the commercials all over again.)
