I Hate Scams

Sling tv is a freaking scam because even though you have to pay for a subscription, you STILL have to sit through 20 minutes of ads per episode even when you watch the on-demand stuff. 🙄🤬

Why is it a scam? Do they advertise it as ad free, or are you getting exactly what you paid for?
Paying for a subscription doesn't mean you get to avoid ads. Even satellite and cable have ads. Even hulu's more expensive ad free tier still has ads.

@SooperSarah I mean you might as well pay for cable. 🤷🏻‍♀️
@DearAmbellina2113 Really? I don't know about where you live, but I can't get cable for the cost of sling.

@SooperSarah Cable is more expensive, but offers more than Sling. Same amount of ads too. 😑
@DearAmbellina2113 That's because advertisers pay to have their content shown. The networks can't just decide not to show the ads because it's being streamed.
