I think Google underestimates how much I hate ads. I’ll gladly take the black screen, thank you.
i remember back when hulu was first starting… free with ads. at times all you got was a black screen with a message about adblockers instead of the ads, and for the same length, which was still better than having them.
you could also just run the title to the end, then skip-back to the beginning and not have ads for the replay. so i just ran on two PCs. i’d watch a ‘replay’ on one pc without ads while getting the next title ‘ready’ on the other–flipping back and forth with a kvm.
