    I gave up traditional TV for add-free streaming back in 2009 and have never looked back.

              Even that’s not ad-free

                  Before matches. Half-time. After matches. With some streams they’ll make the match small to advertise shit. Especially the South African streams.

          Streaming has ads nowadays my dude, at least in the UK, unless you’re paying for a more expensive package.

            Even when I yo-ho-ho I see ads. I was genuinely curious about what this person was on about but they don’t actually seem interested in having a discussion or imparting knowledge 😔

    I grew up loving and watching basketball. I can’t afford $80 to stream not even all of the sports.

    Networks, after splitting every league and cup into tiny micropackages that cost $9.99 per month each: How could the Millenials do this to us? After everything we gave them!*
    * They had not, in fact, given them much of anything
