@bryan Peak was when NBc split-boxed the IOC pres giving his speech, during the opening cetemony, to show a google ad in the other box, google audio overriding the two boxes. Disgusting. Marketing has ruined everything. EVERY. THING.
@Unabart
Even when they are unable to sell ads, there is a commercial break, and they show a generic NBC Olympics tile. Last night, I watched South Korea vs. Estonia Curling 🥌. Zero ads. But the break, looking at nothing, would still cut off the first two stone throws. Just maddening.
The app is totally broken. On my iPad, once I select a stream, I can’t leave. The entire app has to be killed. The little close button doesn’t respond at all. Just super basic parts of the app don’t work at all. Yesterday, I was able to watch fine in Safari. Today, 100% redirect to this junk app.
@bryan Just know that there’s a V level suit in the NBC marketing dept that thinks that app is a celebratory achievement for the sole reason they got it ready before opening ceremony.
