            Where are you seeing ads in pirated content?

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

                That’s crazy, it sounds like a whole business! I guess there are probably more costs and risks associated with live streaming that warrant the income stream, compared to uploading a movie to some torrent tracker.

                  It’s just that someone at some point is just casting their TV screen/stream. Some of the more professional ones will cut away from the adverts and show filler, but for the most part, they don’t have time for that during live events.

                    Oh I see, so these are the same ads you’d see on the official broadcast too?

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

        uBlock Origin blocks all ads from the streaming sites I use. YouTube, Peacock, Paramount+ and Hulu. Some movies and sports I can easily pirate with no ads.

        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 😔
