It clearly says it's on the paid tier only?
Not that I care much one way or the other. I'm still frustrated with HBO Max selling me "ad free" and then putting a skippable ad at the start of every video. It's not ad free if there's a "skippable" ad! I paid extra specifically so I wouldn't have to see that.
I use the Brave browser, so the ads don't work thankfully, but yes, pirate all the things regardless.
Yeah ad blockers are great for that. I know from experience Peacock with ads will all be blocked if you have an ad blocker. But that only works on my computer not my Roku.
Is there a reason to emphasize "skippable" here?
Because the app seems to think "ad free" can include ads as long as they carry a "skip" button. Which are still ads.
