Reddit users thevincentasteroid and MMD3_ posted about an auto-playing video ad (with sound) on the home screen. The ad is for Chicken Tender Wraps from Carl’s Jr. When it begins auto-playing, it pushes all the other UI elements out of focus and goes almost full-screen, returning to the home screen after it has played through once.

      I bought CCwGTV when it first came out, I don’t recall the adbar at the top ever not being present.

      It just was strictly ads for TV shows / movies for the first while and “external” ads for stuff like mcdonalds only showed up later.

      But I’m pretty sure I remember ads for Black Widow on it front and center, and that was only 5? 6? months after it came out. (The ads were showing up 1-2 months prior to theatrical release iirc?)
