My unsuccessful journey into Netflix's ad tier (sixcolors.com)

My gripe is advertisements for shows I want to watch. I am watching season 1 of Silo on Apple and see season 2 advertised ruining my experience with spoilers.

Amazon ads suck a little less due to pre-roll ads and maybe one ad break in a movie. In a show multiple ad breaks ruining the experience also. I found out you can exit the ad, restart playing and get a 15 second ad instead of 30, 45, or 1 minute long ones. Ad gambling.

I know, sail the high seas, but sometimes I want zero maintenance or setup then click play and make the popcorn.
