    I have been saying it since january but military recruitment ads on cruchyroll and the wb have way increased. I stream from both regularly and its very noticable from last year and seems to be higher today than it was at end of january. literally 2-4 of them in a crunchyroll 7 commercial block. both services lean young and poor (if your getting commercials)

        more of a “don’t have a subscription term” although its not really a term used specifically for streaming but more for commercials. A commercial block is just the quantity of commercials during a commercial break. So crunch rolls blocks can be as small as 2 but I think I have seen one that is 8. 5,6,7 are pretty standard. 2 is their small one and im not sure I have ever seen 3 or 4 for whatever reason.

            Ads don’t annoy me per se. I mean disturbing things like an uptick in military recruitment do but not the idea of ads. You do see some wierd stuff. Man there is this ad in spanish where kids ask the parents if they can stop for food and the parents are like. no, we eat at home. then in the end the family is gather at the table with utensils in hand and low and behold here comes the grub hub to eat at home. Its like hilariously sad.
