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.

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 😔
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.

I gave up traditional TV for ad-free streaming back in 2009 and have never looked back.
Ad-free streaming?
Yes.
How have you achieved that?
Yes

Even that’s not ad-free
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.

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

See my reply above.
Thanks for sharing. Was like pulling a tooth but we got there in the end.

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