Agreed. He did the right thing by not falling for the bait. I quite like his passion. I prefer seeing the full interviews rather than the clipped ones that he normally releases.
I didn't get the ads. But I use Firefox with the uBlock Origin extension, which may be why I didn't have to endure ads.

@markgrieveson@mindly.social Noted and thanks. Been meaning to check out uBlock. I achieve ad blocking (and general browsing safety) by using NoScript and, as a general rule, block all non-origin javascript. I define exceptions here and there for my regular haunts so they load properly, but CTV isn't one of them. In this case, I just wanted to see the video, so I created a temporary allow rule so the video would load and play. That opened the door to the ads too, clearly. It never actually occurred to me that video ads could be blocked, to be honest, if the site is simply inserting them into video stream.
