They’re just targeting people who think the ads aren’t a big deal.

I know people making massive money who sit through Youtube and Hulu ads. I’m the only person I know who subscribed to Youtube premium it seems.

So, plenty of people to target with ads. Even HNers making big bucks.

Ads are their own form of entertainment.

My old housemate use to complain when I switched from watching a movie on free-to-air tv, to a streaming service. Mainly because he liked the ad breaks as they allowed him to get snacks / water / toilet break etc.etc. I would say when you want something i will pause, but he wouldnt say its the same.

"Workhuman" or whatever it is always amuses me with how freaking tone-deaf the ads are.
