Why would you? Running a video streaming service is hardly free. It is only like 30 sec of advertisement.

If you really wanted you could use an ad blocker.

> Why would you?

Because I am not interested in what they are offering and I know this after first 2 seconds.

It's not 30 seconds, it's 90.

I'd use AdBlock but it's an iPad.

I'm surprised there's people here that don't.

I don't -- I put up with ads because it's the way people online who produce content get paid.

Sure, a lot of people take advantage of spamming ads, but if it bothers me enough, I just wont revisit their content.

I'd venture to say there are more people here interested in the old-fashioned notion of a noble hacker than in the subversive form of the term.
