Ads ruin watching experience (alien.top)

I can't be the only one who doesn't enjoy spending 3 hours watching a 48 minute game? I'd love to see a breakdown of ad time vs playtime because I'm sure it's close to 4:1 if not higher.

Constant ad breaks mid quarter, split screen ads, banner ads etc. I understand they need to make money but in this case it feels like it drastically diminishes the quality of the broadcast.

Started talking about it to people at work and they apparently all just choose to watch the highlights the next day instead for similar reasons.

How do you guys feel about it? Any other solutions it make it more enjoyable?

Someone has to pay for those $30-$40 million dollar contracts.

If you get league pass, once the game is finished you can select to an option to watch all possessions that resulted in a shot. Goes for about 38-40 minutes.

Condensed games on League Pass work for me being in another timezone.
