Ad sucks!
I know you will say on your website there are ads but still, you are criticizing that. Yeah, But on some websites, we get annoying ads and they are everywhere. There should be some moderation for that. But Ads are the new home page of the internet. There are lots of ways in which you can block these ads.
The best thing is to use an ad blocker. But sometimes you cannot enable the adblocker in android TV and the apps. So now you need an ad blocker that is network-wide. So you need to install it once and it will work everywhere.
