They have an ad plan and an ad-free plan for different costs. I personally couldn’t ever imagine myself paying for the privilege of watching ads (and I do pay for D+), but, ¯_(ツ)_/¯

D+ works fine for me on my old cheap Android box, my Nvidia SHIELD and our AppleTV, so I think the ‘slow and clunky’ part might be a Roku specific issue.
The app design choices though are a mess in other ways. There isn’t a ‘mark as watched’ option, so when it doesn’t mark that you watched something (which happens semi-frequently), it attempts to start you on an episode you’ve already watched and you’ve got to fast forward through it. It doesn’t have ‘continue watching’ so unless your show is brand new, you’ve gotta go through the menus to re-find the thing you’re watching. It’s “pretty” enough at first glance and looks good, but actual usability is not great at all.

Plex & Jellyfin definitely have the better experience, for sure.

hahahahaha, in my case, I’ve been lucky that the places I’ve worked we actually have always bought the accidental damage coverage!

I also practically start the conversation with this info so I don’t get lied to initially.

I loved that the dude just made up a situation in his head and then just rolled through calling everyone a fucking hypocrite because of the things she said in his made up scenario AND said that people who call out bigots are all hypocrites and holier-than-though assholes [paraphrasing heavily, but I don’t think I changed the tone/perception of what he said at all].

Wild that people like this live in the world and can’t see ANY flaw with their logic, it’s insane.

Well yeah, now 500M will get allocated to go directly to the business only, but another 400M that previously would have gone to the business now gets to go directly to the shareholders instead since it’s unallocated! WIN-WIN!

Requiring any closer bookkeeping than that is SOCIALISM!

/s – kinda, but, I expect that’s the reality

Let me guess: “iT wAs a J0kE bRo!”?

EABOD25: You’re 0 for 2 now.

hahahahahahaha, sure I am

They each have their place imo, but I’d agree that A2A can definitely require more creativity and two people being on the same wavelength rather than CAH where the cards do almost all of the heavy lifting.

if I suspect something was spilled, I always let them know that we have accidental damage coverage and things like spills are covered and that makes the truth come out a bit smoother.

I mean, if they want a ready to go excuse for why the movie made no money, sure, this makes sense.

I quit going after their CFO was bitching about quiet quitting keeping him up at night.

QDoba is better anyways, they’re just not in nearly as many locations (around me anyways).

Super Mario Bros (1993) is this movie for me … it’s weird as hell and it’s adherence to the source material is … iffy at best … but god damn if it wasn’t a fun ride!

Then you read about how everyone hated the directors so much they literally got drunk on set and openly wore custom made shirts with slogans about how bad the directors were AND Bob Haskins was in a cast for most of it for an injury on set and it gets even more fascinating! The Directors poured hot coffee on people and just openly belittled everyone. It’s insane!
