Waste 15 minutes per 40 minutes
Ads cause choppy viewing when using airplay. The ads will not load and there’s no refresh or restart without actually exiting out of the show and restarting, and then if you were mid-show you will have to drag the scrubber to find your previous location which will force you to rewatch the cumulative total of ad minutes that you would have watched if you hadn’t fast forwarded to that point.
We were just 20 minutes into a 40 minute show when the ads locked up. Spent 5 minutes trying to get the ads to load so we could get on with the show. Didn’t work. Exited the show, fast forwarded to be greeted with 4 ads totaling 5 minutes, and half way through those ads, they froze up again. This resulted in start the process over AGAIN. Spent a total of 15 minutes trying to get ADS to load just to watch a 15 minute show. Very frustrating. This has been happening for months. About to cancel our subscription.
Aggravating that we have to sit through commercials. Being a YouTube Red subscriber and getting past ads, and then subscribing to YouTube TV and having 10-15 minutes of ads for 1 broadcast hour definitely feels like a downgrade while paying 2.5 times the cost of YouTube red.
