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.

Is there a reason to emphasize "skippable" here?

[โ€“] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

Because the app seems to think "ad free" can include ads as long as they carry a "skip" button. Which are still ads.
