Apple put some ads up for other shows of theirs, but made them skippable
TBH I don’t get why we call those ads. Back in the day of VHS/DVD, we called those previews. That’s still how I think of them, and imo there’s a difference between that an an advertisement, which would be for a car, investment app, brand of tampons, etc that have nothing to do with the streaming platform’s content they have to offer.
Why do we lump the two things together?
Yeah but ad is short for advertisement.
Advertisements are something to make you buy something you wouldn’t otherwise think of buying. They come in the form of billboards, banners on websites, commercials on TV during commercial break.
Okay yeah a preview for content that’s on the same platform can be like an ad, or a type of ad, but I’ve already paid for the streamijg service so it’s not really trying to get me to spend extra money on something else so I guess that’s why I think of them seperately from ads.
As for FBI warnings and producer logos (besides displaying the logo of whomever made the thing you’re already watching), what are they advertising?
