From B2, the only thing I know about Mr. Beast is he does "things" on Youtube. I'm not sure what. - MDH Mar 18, 13:27 21

      - Tampa Bay Devil Rays, conditional on bringing the name back -- nm - Beryllium Mar 18, 14:50

      - I'm gonna vehemently disagree. Someone with a subscription from 3% of the global population is on a different scale. - David Mar 18, 14:12

    - your im nails it. His Squid Game video is awesome -- nm* - Beaker 🍻 Mar 18, 13:41

  - I was there last year, and hotels were expensive but the food was surprisingly not. Even the meal I had at the top of an alp was the same price it - Roger More Mar 18, 14:18
This is cool - you can weight stats by importance and this site will fill out your bracket for you. - colin Mar 18, 12:59 6

- Don't you get a lot of commercials that way or do you have a subscription? -- nm - Dano Mar 18, 13:10 5

    - I'm fine with the short ones but then you'll get those 3 minute commercials. -- nm - Dano Mar 18, 13:18 3
      - right. sometimes I'll get 5-8 min ones -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Mar 18, 13:19 2
        
        Not only is the length awful, but some of them are outright cons. I don't know if it's better to not pay or if paying would give those ads less views. -- nm - Max Mar 18, 14:47 1
        
        I got a MAGA ad on Tubi last night. If it was a subscription service I'd have canceled! -- nm - Meg Mar 18, 15:10

  - I figure I'm going to wait until a few new seasons/shows are available on top of Fallout and pay for ad-free for a month and watch them all -- nm - decline Mar 18, 12:41
  - Pay the $2 for a month. At least their site makes it super easy to control. -- nm - Spawn Mar 18, 12:40 1
    - 👍 -- nm - decline Mar 18, 12:41
- Ill say as far as streamers streaming content w commercials go, I have to say Peacock has it best. -- (edited) - Jovian Mar 18, 12:37 5
  - I watched a couple SNLs over the weekend. The exact same commercials (including one in spanish) got pretty annoying. -- nm - Spawn Mar 18, 12:41 4
    - oh yea the repetition is brutal (but I get the same with PlutoTV) and now I usually just mute. -- nm - Jovian Mar 18, 12:43 3
      - It was dumb. I watched the Sweeney episode. I noticed after credits that Jost made his way to her. - Spawn Mar 18, 12:45 2
        
        I just appreciate the effort Sweeney gives in making boobs okay and popular again. -- nm - Jovian Mar 18, 12:47 1
        
        Agreed. - Spawn Mar 18, 12:47
