minus-squareshmaniolinkfedilinkEnglish6•2 years ago Subscribers can expect to see an average of 4 minutes of ads an hour at around 15 to 30 seconds each Isn’t this a lot? I can’t imagine watching a movie and being interrupted every 5 minutes by an ad. Do they clump them together and play 8 minutes of ads between the two halves of a two hour movie?
