An ad every 5 minutes in a 45 minute drama totally takes away from the show itself. Even broadcast TV doesn’t have as many ads. When I started watching on Viki, the ads were in the beginning and I actually watched them and some were actually things I was interested in. Now, I ignore it and come back to re-enable Chromecast, search for where I left off and continue. I did that for 1 episode, and stopped using Viki altogether after that. That 45 minute show took me over an hour to watch because of all the seeking. None of the shows are in HD and asking me to pay $4 every month just to get rid of ads is never going to happen. There’s gotta be more value for the money other than just getting rid of ads.
