Do those have Ads though? I guess I just assumed they did which is why I haven't bothered. I have a lifetime plex sub if it matters

Yep. It’s like regular tv. Maybe your definition of background content is different from mine. I don’t mind a few commercials.

Ahh ok thanks, appreciate the reply.

I think our definition is probably the same, I'm just very anti-ad, the idea of being continually manipulated to consume rubs my fur backwards. I'm fine paying for ad free though.

I’m very much with you on anti-manipulation and anti-consumerism but I grew up in a time before the internet and have little issue with an acceptable amount of appropriately paced ads for certain content for a given price.

I hear you, I'm Gen X so grew up on cable tv. But I was also a punk rocker as a kid. As I age I find myself increasingly realigning with the values of my youth lol
