Lifetime Pass Member.. just put on The Devils Advocate (1997) and got a full 30s ad.

… just paused it to verify it was actually in my library… -and got another 2 ads… what the actual fuck? Just me?

EDIT: Looking back at the app, seems I was somehow in Plex Streaming, but how it was put up above my own content I can’t understand, and the movie page does not make it obvious that’s what I’m looking at.

Not even just an ad, an ad for an online casino. Damn.

Not even the worst of it.

Ladies razor blades.

Incontinence meds

some pretty local political ads too…

2-3 full minutes of unskippable ads every … idk 20m? With no thought into the cut? Rough.

Idk i feel like I must have somehow selected a streaming service of theirs? Is that a thing? The interface has changed a lot over the years, and this is the Plex app on an LG TV

At any rate, it’s absolutely insane amount of ads… and at least half the reason I run a plex server in the first place is to avoid ads.

You played the Plex version and not your local copy, 100%
