liamnilon.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’ve never watched any team sports and I get them all the time.

lizcrash.bsky.social•1 day ago

that’s where the antiques roadshow comes in

Speculative buys of old junk is also gambling

lizcrash.bsky.social•1 day ago

that’s why they don’t need to advertise gambling on the show. viewers already have gambling at home

They can at least be half good but they are terrible.

I've somehow managed to avoid them for the most part. But recently I thought I'd try out a new podcast and it had one. They really are badly made ads.
Your media diet is probably more varied than mine.

I don't watch stuff with ads often but when I do, it's wall to wall gambling ads. I think it's just my age and gender demographic. my "sports" is Esports which is also a hot bed of gambling.

SBS On Demand, at least, has an opt-out facility for this. I did it a few months back and it's merciful not seeing them.

Didn't know this was an option. Thank you!

For anyone interested, the info about it is here https://help.sbs.com.au/hc/en-au/articles/360002023835-Information-on-ads-and-ad-preferences-on-SBS-On-Demand

I remember it being very difficult to disable gambling ads on Google/YouTube. The "manage preferences" page didn't list gambling as a category to block. I had to do it on some hard to find unrelated page. Evil.

Where are you seeing the ads, Cam?

Ad blockers if online. Watch 🏴‍☠️ for TV shows
