                Before matches. Half-time. After matches. With some streams they’ll make the match small to advertise shit. Especially the South African streams.

                  That’s crazy, it sounds like a whole business! I guess there are probably more costs and risks associated with live streaming that warrant the income stream, compared to uploading a movie to some torrent tracker.

                    It’s just that someone at some point is just casting their TV screen/stream. Some of the more professional ones will cut away from the adverts and show filler, but for the most part, they don’t have time for that during live events.

          uBlock Origin blocks all ads from the streaming sites I use. YouTube, Peacock, Paramount+ and Hulu. Some movies and sports I can easily pirate with no ads.

          Even when I yo-ho-ho I see ads. I was genuinely curious about what this person was on about but they don’t actually seem interested in having a discussion or imparting knowledge 😔
