What’s with these ads?

I feel like we used to see a lot of ads related to moto or what moto people would like.


All I’ve seen is a bunch of medications, HIV sex medication, and gambling. Couple of golf ads.

Why is a family event showing ads about HIV medication and gambling being shoved down our throats? Ugh.

Give us back the moto ads.

It should be illegal to advertise any pharmaceutical.

I don’t like AI either, but we’ve had these ads way before AI. Europe has been clowning on us for decades for these types of ads.

If HIV meds didn’t exist then some people wouldn’t be able gamble with boner pills and unprotected sex to start families and buy homes, cars and boats they’ll need to insure.

Is it not supposed to be ad free or is that only if you sign up for the more expensive pass? 

None of that bullshit on the international stream.

As free is only for on demand viewing not live

Conspiracy theory hat:  I think it’s a tactic to try and push you to the more expensive plan without commercials. 

”Let’s make them watch this shockingly horrible awkward commercial while they are watching races with their kids.”


 Rake in some extra money when they have to upgrade to avoid it

You're surprised to see a commercial trying to sell you some sort of pharmaceutical drug? Is this the first time you've watched TV?

I have the most expensive package, the commercials are still on there because you’re watching a live feed. 

I wait an hour into the race and then start so I can ff through the commercials.

It’s a cheap media buy for advertisers. Also, pharma and medical advertising are two of the highest regulated verticals and can’t use detailed targeting, so they go broad.

I know, it's hard to hold off watching SX from the very beginning when it first comes on since we're all jonesing hard for moto , but ... as others have also mentioned, just wait about 45 minutes after the race starts and FF through all this stuff you're talking about.   Lot less frustration this way and you finish up with the broadcast at about the same time.
