    I don’t do ads. Seeing them after years of not has a profoundly negative effect on my brain. A slight fog akin to waking up after using Benadryl as a sleep aide, and a hazing of attention capacity.

    I’m not going to pay for that impact on my thinking. It certainly won’t improve the world to have more of it.

    I stopped going to the cinema for the ads , I used Netflix until they geoblocked my downloaded content and I couldn’t watch it while traveling.

    Now all my movies and series are free, in the resolution that I want, and they stay on my device for how long I want.

    • I honestly don’t mind the pre-movie ads too much. Usually there’s not that many, it quickly moves on to other movie trailers (which I don’t mind knowing about) and then you just get the full movie without any ads whatsoever. You can always just arrive 10 minutes later and skip most of the ads anyway.

      Netflix ads can kiss my ass though. Jellyfin to the rescue!
