  • 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?


  • 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?


  • I get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person, but 4th person is a new concept to me and I’m trying tl wrap my head around it given your examples. This is intersting

    Edit: OOOOHH so it’s like 3rd person where you’re talking to the second person about another person, BUT instead of that person being a specific person (3rd person) it’s more like a “they/them” kind of thing where it’s not any specific person but just… Anyone at all?

    This, and, speaking for myself, I once thought that’s literally how you attract someone because that’s what my mom taught me. “be nice to women, find a nice girl, ???, marriage.” in that order. But I was nice to everyone, not just people I liked.

    The one time I ever talked about how nice I thought I was, was when I was 18 and the girl I liked called me creepy when I was being nice to her all the time showering her with compliments and ttying to hang out with her. I went on this little rant, out of frustration, on FB in a status update about how women were bitches for not liking me and calling me creepy when I’ve just been trying to he nice to them. Yeah, at that point, that status update wasn’t exaclty being nice to anyone.

    Actually that was probably when I took a look at myself and realized just being nice isn’t gonna cut it, and my mom’s advice was shit. THEEEEEN, a few years later I heard about Nice Guys™

    It’s okay I’m now 32 and I have seen the light, it’s just took me until a couple years ago to figure it all out
