It really is a joke. I remember a decade ago talking about how pirated movies were a better user experience than buying a DVD because they were making you sit through ads on the paid product before you could view it, but the pirated product just let you get to what you were watching immediately.
In the end I was finally so PO’d with my Blu Ray needing to update copyright protections and download the latest trailers before doing anything I switch to having a PC connected to my TV instead and threw out the Blu-ray.
I just wanted to sit down for a movie or dinner without screwing around or finishing my meal long before the movie even starts.
With streaming services that came later it was much easier to do that again. However with the cable-ification of the streaming services that PC on my TV is looking pretty good again…
Enjoy a Netflix like experience with everything available in one place. In fact do this even if you use a pc, I just recommend chromecast because I like having a standard remote to control it.

The whole experience is completely backward!

How’s it backwards for YouTube? You pay to not see ads. Seems like that’s what you want.
